Fortis Publishing is delighted to announce that 'The Last Toll Collector' by author S.S. Turner has been officially entered for the 2025 Booker Prize.

This extraordinary novel poses a profound and unsettling question: What would you do if artificial intelligence outperformed you so completely that it rendered your role in society obsolete?

Enter the life of Valerie Tobruk. Once a toll collector on San Francisco’s iconic Golden Gate Bridge, Valerie's world changed forever in 2013 when her job was automated out of existence. She watched helplessly as artificial intelligence infiltrated industry after industry, rendering her—and millions of others—obsolete. Over the years, Valerie has searched tirelessly for a sense of purpose, only to face rejection after rejection as she discovers that machines now excel in nearly every task once performed by humans. The result? A spiraling sense of uselessness, isolation, and disconnection from the very fabric of society.

Desperate to escape this existential void, Valerie sets off for the Westfjords, an unspoiled and sparsely populated region of Iceland, where raw nature offers solace to those seeking to disappear. Here, amidst snow-capped mountains and fjords carved by time, she stumbles upon the ruins of an abandoned herring factory. It is within these crumbling walls that Valerie takes her first steps toward reclaiming her agency. She declares the creation of an independent micronation—Tobruk—a haven where people are celebrated not for their productivity or efficiency, but for their humanity.

What begins as a solitary refuge soon becomes a gathering place for others like Valerie—those left behind by a world that prizes algorithms over authenticity. Each new arrival brings their own story of struggle, resilience, and redemption. Together, they build a fragile community, grappling with the challenges of self-governance, resourcefulness, and the unforgiving Icelandic wilderness.

Yet, Tobruk's greatest test lies ahead. As winter descends and the region is plunged into weeks of darkness, the citizens are forced to confront not only the external dangers of isolation but also the internal fears they’ve carried with them. What emerges is a tale of survival, self-discovery, and the unyielding power of human connection in a world dominated by artificial intelligence.

The Last Toll Collector is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of the human spirit in an age of rapid technological advancement. It asks us to consider: In a world increasingly dictated by machines, what does it truly mean to be human?

Stephen King was struggling with his finances and teaching high school English while also working at an industrial laundry to support his family. With three kids and growing frustration, he started writing his first novel, Carrie. However, feeling disheartened, he threw the manuscript into the trash, convinced it wasn’t worth finishing.
This is where Tabitha King, his wife, stepped in. She found the pages in the trash, read them, and saw potential in the story. Tabitha encouraged Stephen to keep going, telling him that the story was worth finishing. Her belief in him gave him the motivation to complete the book.
After several rejections, Doubleday accepted Carrie for publication, marking the start of Stephen King's remarkable career. While the hardcover sales were modest, the paperback rights sold for $400,000, a life-changing sum at the time, setting King on the path to becoming one of the most prolific writers in the world.
King went on to publish numerous bestselling novels, earning the title of "Master of Horror," with films like Misery, It, and The Shining adapted from his books. But as his success grew, he never forgot Tabitha’s role in saving his first book. In many of his works, the dedication reads, “For Tabby,” honoring the woman who believed in him when he was ready to give up.
This story highlights the power of support from a loved one, and Stephen King has carried that with him throughout his career, always crediting Tabitha for her unwavering belief in his potential.
