J.R. Mann

J.R. Mann grew up in London and spent over three decades working at the heart of global finance. As an AI model evaluator, he has worked directly with the systems that inspired The Banyan Project – giving the novel an authenticity that pure fiction rarely achieves.

Mann wrote The Banyan Project because he believes we are running out of time. The unrestricted AI arms race could have disastrous consequences, and the public is already living with the contradiction – AI is transforming our working lives even as it threatens them. His message is simple: guardrails must be imposed. Before it is too late. If it isn't already.

The Banyan Project is his debut novel.
