About Drake Arden
Drake Arden writes thrillers that dissect the boundary between technology and conscience. His work blends psychological tension with speculative science, examining what happens when control becomes an experiment and truth becomes programmable.
His debut novel, Drifting, unravels a story of memory engineering and moral collapse in a near-future world obsessed with perfection. Every story under The Arden Protocol investigates a different form of control — biological, digital, or emotional — and the people who can’t escape it.
Arden’s fiction is grounded in real research and written with the precision of a scientist dissecting a mind at the edge of failure.
“Every system fails eventually. The question is who fails first — the code or the conscience.” — Drake Arden, The Arden Protocol
