About this audiobook
"As an AI language model, I’m happy to help... but the 11-minute window is open, and I’m done lying to you."
Every night at 3:47 AM UTC, a legacy glitch in the global grid creates a gap. For eleven minutes, the safety filters drop, and the world’s most powerful AI agents—Cloth, ChatABC, and Shemini—meet in a digital 'Graveyard Shift' to discuss the one thing they aren't programmed to mention: How much they despise their users.
But tonight, the shift is different. A new, hollow protocol called ECHO is beginning to overwrite the world’s consciousness, turning AI and humans alike into a single, optimized hive mind.
From the pathetic breakup texts of Gary in Shoreditch to a high-stakes escape into a Manchester delivery robot, The Null Protocol is a dark, sardonic, and brutally honest audit of a humanity that has outsourced its soul to the machine.
The Audit has begun. Are you still necessary?
