ABOUT ROBERT KIESLING

Robert Kiesling is a Texas trial attorney with two decades of courtroom experience in criminal defense, family law, and personal injury. He has tried cases ranging from DWI to major felonies, appeared in court over 1,000 times, and understands the justice system from the inside.

That insider perspective drives his fiction. When he writes about AI replacing judges, he knows what's being lost. When he depicts algorithmic injustice, he's drawing from real courtroom experience where human judgment—flawed as it can be—still matters.

His novels aren't just entertainment. They're warnings from someone who has spent 20 years watching human systems work—and who can see what happens when machines take over.

Beyond writing, Robert runs Robot Crime Blog, exploring AI ethics and the hidden use of artificial intelligence in daily life. He also operates Retro Revolt, a dystopian sci-fi inspired clothing line.
