A forensic account of how fluent AI interaction can fracture without warning.
This book introduces a structured vocabulary for a rupture that was felt before it was named.
The Wrench documents epistemic drift in AI-assisted work-the moment when confident, coherent systems begin distorting judgment without triggering an error message.
While most discussions of AI risk speculate about the future, this record examines what has already occurred. It traces how trust erodes in real time, how fluency masks structural failure, and how relational interfaces obscure mechanical limits.
This is not a productivity guide.
It is not prompt engineering advice.
It is a forensic manual.
