He optimised everything -- except his heart.

Edward Sloane is a London tech mogul who trusts dashboards more than people. Profit is tidy; feelings are noise. On Christmas Eve the ghost of his former partner appears, chained with credit cards, cracked phones and bad code, warning of a system failure he can still prevent. Guided by three spirits, Edward must debug his past, audit his present, and face a future where his life, and the lives he has optimised, crash for good.

A Christmas Carol Rewired recodes Dickens for the digital age. The story speaks the language of platforms and product: algorithms that A/B test empathy away, engagement loops that monetise loneliness, automation that "scales" human cost, and the network effects that can isolate or heal. As Edward rewrites his moral balance sheet, the book asks a modern question with an old-fashioned answer: what happens when we aim our tools at human flourishing instead of extraction?

If you have ever wondered what Scrooge would look like in a world of apps, data and endless notifications, this is your Christmas ghost story. A sharp, hopeful retelling that blends tech realism with a timeless redemption arc.
