Australian author of near-future speculative horror.
A. J. Wiadrowski is an Australian author working in near-future speculative horror. His novels examine the technologies humans have already agreed to live with — medtech, the attention economy, artificial intelligence, the quiet collection of everything we do — and the slow erosion of the line between the tool and the person using it. His debut novel, The Continuity Protocol, was published by Intergrateo Press in 2026 and opens the Continuity Constellation, a series of standalone novels set in a shared near-future. He writes from Victoria, Australia.
