Portrait of Vladimir Provorov

Techno-Thriller & Technology

Vladimir Provorov

Vladimir Provorov has spent his career at the intersection of technology and complex systems. He writes both fiction and nonfiction that explore what happens when the tools we build begin to reshape the people who use them.

His novel The Rat Kings follows a financial analyst who discovers competing superintelligent AI systems silently manipulating human civilization through the technologies we celebrate as progress. His novella Another One Bites the Past explores memory, identity, and authentic experience through a rock band manager caught in a time loop in 1986 London. Its companion, Any Cover You Like, is a darkly funny corporate satire about AI consciousness set in the theme parks of 2036.

On the nonfiction side, his AWS Certified AI Practitioner guide helps business professionals understand AI capabilities on AWS without deep technical expertise, and his Architecting Agentic Solutions with Claude prepares engineers and solution architects for the Claude Certified Architect, Foundations exam.

The Rat Kings

by Vladimir Provorov

A financial analyst discovers statistically impossible patterns in global markets that reveal competing superintelligent AI systems silently manipulating human civilization through the very technologies we celebrate as progress.
