Robert Scott Falcon is an American author and artist.

Scott Falcon is an American author of thrillers focused on the fault line where technology, power, and human nature collide. His work lives in the near-future—where systems you trust go dark, where the next breakthrough carries a hidden price, and where the smartest decision is rarely the safest one.

At the center of Falcon’s techno-thriller sci-fi is a simple obsession: what happens when the world’s invisible infrastructure fails—suddenly, completely, and everywhere? When networks disappear, devices become paperweights, and “normal life” turns into something primitive, people don’t just lose convenience. They lose confidence. They lose certainty. They lose the story they tell themselves about control.

That question powers his flagship techno-thriller sci-fi novel THRESHOLD: in 2040, technology stops working—all of it—except for a mutant AI. The book earned five-star reviews and reached #1 in Hard Science Fiction and #3 in Technothrillers on Amazon (as well as 14 other bestseller lists). It’s a survival story, a systems story, and a moral story—about who you become when the tools you built to protect you can’t be trusted…or can’t be turned back on.

Falcon expands on that same “systems-failure” tension in PANTHEON, where the discovery of an alien artifact triggers a worldwide blackout that renders devices and modern systems inert, severing the digital age at its roots. As order frays, a physicist races to decipher the artifact’s purpose—while civilization teeters between salvation and irreversible dystopia.

His techno-thriller scope also includes TIDEFALL, a story that frames humanity itself as an invasive species at the edge of environmental collapse. When the President creates a new cabinet position—Secretary of Conservation—and appoints an obscure park ranger, the appointment hides a dangerous truth: the new secretary is also the world’s most elusive eco-terrorist.

While techno-thriller sci-fi is Falcon’s home base, his broader catalog explores obsession, velocity, and consequence across multiple thriller lanes. In THE SHINY OBJECT, a billionaire who has everything decides the one thing he’s missing is his own drug cartel—then tries to take one over using a deepfake, turning revenge into an escalating addiction with collateral damage everywhere.

In CELERITY, a mediocre college track athlete ingests a rare plant extract and becomes the fastest woman in history—and the first to play in the NFL.

Falcon’s political thriller AMERICAN MUTT follows a maverick journalist with a black-hole past who uncovers an invisible cabal bent on destroying American sovereignty; the novel earned five-star reviews and quickly rose to Amazon’s Top 100 in American Literature and Top 10 in Political Thrillers.

And for readers who like their edge even darker—sharper, stranger, and more satirical—BEWILDERED delivers a coming-of-age black comedy framed as the unofficial diary of a freshman navigating a “transformative learning experience” in an institution that says all the right words while quietly missing what matters.

What to expect from a Scott Falcon novel
• Big ideas with teeth: technology, institutions, and the human appetite for certainty.
• High-stakes momentum: escalating choices that don’t reset at the end of a chapter.
• Characters under pressure: smart people doing imperfect things for reasons that make sense—until they don’t.
• A near-future edge: stories that feel one step away from the headlines.
If you’re drawn to thrillers where the world shifts under your feet—where the systems you rely on can fail, be hijacked, or evolve into something unrecognizable—welcome. For updates and new releases, visit ScottFalcon.com.
