Elijah Canfield is an engineer, entrepreneur, and the author of the RESET speculative science-fiction series.
Before writing fiction, he spent years building, operating, and studying complex systems. His background includes mechanical engineering, patented product development, technology, digital marketplaces, ecommerce, real estate, and consumer businesses.
That experience shaped RESET, a series interested not only in artificial intelligence and first contact, but in what happens when systems become more capable than the people who created them expected.
His fiction explores discovery, unintended consequences, memory, power, adaptation, and the choices people make when the structures they trust stop behaving predictably.
Elijah lives in Michigan with his family.

RESET is a six-book speculative science-fiction series about artificial intelligence, first contact, hidden civilizations, memory, power, and survival. Book One releases August 14, 2026. Later titles are forthcoming.
