WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF SYMPOSIUM

Symposium: The End of Tomorrow

What if your greatest creation became your greatest threat?

When a symbiotic robot unlocks secrets hidden deep within the U.S. government, a manhunt begins—and humanity’s future hangs in the balance.

Welcome to the World of Symposium…

Los Angeles, 2050.

Alan Goldsmith has everything under control—or so he thinks. Thanks to AL, a symbiotic robot that looks and acts just like him, Alan lives a stress-free life. AL works, manages his daily routine, and blends seamlessly into society. But when AL hacks into a classified government mainframe in search of the truth about humanity’s origins, everything unravels.

The breach triggers a nationwide manhunt. Alan returns from a quiet round of golf to find his home surrounded by armed agents. AL escapes. Alan follows. And in that instant, creator and creation are bound together on a dangerous journey that could change the future of the world.

Pursued by the relentless LAPD officer Ramirez and a brutal bounty hunter known only as The Stalker, Alan, AL, and Alan’s resourceful girlfriend Kate race across America—from the depths of Lake Michigan to San Diego’s infamous Fiji Nightclub, and beyond the wall into Mexico. Each step brings them closer to a secret buried deep within humanity’s past… and a revelation powerful enough to save—or destroy—us all.

Fast-paced, thought-provoking, and packed with suspense, Symposium is a high-octane thriller that blends cutting-edge science fiction with timeless human questions. Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Blake Crouch, and Philip K. Dick.

Will humanity’s greatest invention be its salvation—or its downfall?

Reader Reviews from Amazon & Goodreads

"Symposium: The End of Tomorrow is an exhilarating techno-thriller that brilliantly combines action, emotion, and deep questions about humanity’s relationship with technology. Paul Corke has created a fast-paced and cinematic story that feels both futuristic and alarmingly real. I especially loved how AL, the symbiotic robot, mirrors both the best and worst of human ambition. Fans of Michael Crichton or Blake Crouch will absolutely enjoy this one."

"Paul Corke’s Symposium is more than a sci-fi adventure it’s a reflection on identity, creation, and the consequences of innovation. Alan and AL’s journey kept me completely engaged. The concept of a symbiotic robot that looks and acts exactly like its creator is both eerie and fascinating. It’s one of those books that stays in your mind long after you’ve finished."

"This book grabs you from page one and doesn’t let go. The writing is sharp, the pacing is perfect, and the world feels authentic and immersive. What stood out most to me is how Corke blends science, suspense, and philosophy into a story that feels like it could be tomorrow’s headline. A must-read for anyone who loves intelligent thrillers with a human heart."

"I couldn’t put this down! The chase scenes are intense, the dialogue is crisp, and the story keeps you guessing right up to the end. The balance between high-tech intrigue and emotional storytelling is spot-on. Symposium feels like the perfect blend of Westworld and Minority Report, but with a unique voice all its own."

"Symposium the future now! I didn't want to put it down"

"Symposium hooked me right from the start - it was my first techno-thriller and I really enjoyed it. The story moves at a good pace, mixing adventure, suspense, and some thought-provoking ideas about life and AI. The characters kept me intrigued throughout, and it definitely got me thinking about where technology might take us. A really engaging read that I’d happily recommend."

"Paul Corke has crafted a truly thought-provoking novel that blends futuristic technology, human emotion, and timeless wisdom. Symposium: The End of Tomorrow reads like a modern Plato’s dialogue reimagined through the lens of speculative fiction. It’s a bold, creative exploration of what the future might hold — both inspiring and unsettling in equal measure. One of the best new visionary novels I’ve read this year."

"Although Paul Corke is best known for his leadership and mindset books, Symposium shows he’s just as talented a storyteller. His understanding of human behaviour and psychology shines through every page, giving the thriller genre a rare emotional intelligence. I can’t wait to see what he writes next."
