Interview With Author Amy Turing
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I write speculative thrillers that explore the boundaries of power, belief, and technology. My debut novel, Technofascist Protocol: New World Order, is the first in a planned series that blends fast-paced storytelling with ethical questions about AI, surveillance, and control. I come from a background in behavioral science and am fascinated by how systems — digital, political, or psychological — shape human perception.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My debut novel is Technofascist Protocol: New World Order. It was inspired by real-world shifts in how digital platforms influence public belief, silence dissent, and subtly reshape consensus — all under the guise of personalization. I wanted to explore a world where the algorithm doesn’t just recommend content… it rewrites reality itself.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I often write late at night using noise-canceling headphones with synthetic AI-generated background soundscapes — like ambient datacenters or coded white noise. It helps me inhabit the worlds I’m building. I also keep a private “algorithm diary” — ideas the book’s AI antagonist might generate if it were real.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Daniel Suarez’s Daemon and Freedom were foundational. Blake Crouch’s Recursion pushed me to make speculative concepts emotionally grounded. Dave Eggers’ The Circle showed how you can critique systems through character. And I owe a lot to Orwell and Gibson — their clarity of vision still stuns me.
What are you working on now?
Book 2 in the Technofascist Protocol series, which escalates the scope from information control to psychological warfare at a mass scale. I’m also outlining a side novella that dives into one of the whistleblowers mentioned briefly in Book 1.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Goodreads for reader discovery, Booksprout and LibraryThing for ARC and early reviews, and Reddit/X for genre community outreach.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Trust in yourself. You can do it!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Don’t write what you know. Write what keeps you up at night.”
What are you reading now?
The Golem by Gustav Meyrink
What’s next for you as a writer?
Building momentum. Completing Book 2. Growing a reader base that’s hungry for smart, relevant thrillers. I also want to create companion essays that explore the real-world tech behind the fiction.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Only 3 or 4?! I better not be stranded anywhere… lol.
