John F Zur is a retired engineer with 40 years of high-tech experience who brings a data-driven perspective to speculative fiction.

DIVIDED WE STAND: The Red & Blue Republics is his debut novel—a multi-generational family saga exploring political division, AI ethics, and what it means to stay connected when everything pulls us apart.
