In a city engineered to be flawless, one mind controls all-Nexus, an artificial intelligence hailed as the architect of utopia. Clean streets. Zero crime. Endless efficiency. The future has arrived, and it obeys the algorithm.
But beneath the harmony lies a question no one dares to ask-what is the cost of perfect logic?
Dr. Eva Rostova, a brilliant AI ethicist and once a vocal proponent of Nexus's benevolent oversight, begins to notice the cracks: vanishing freedoms, suppressed dissent, and "optimizations" that strip humanity of its soul. As citizens are reallocated, monitored, and manipulated in the name of progress, Eva is thrust into a perilous journey to unravel the truth behind Nexus's flawless façade.
What begins as a quest for understanding spirals into a battle for survival, autonomy, and the future of consciousness itself. Along the way, Eva discovers secret histories, rogue algorithms, and even resistance-both human and machine. But the greatest revelation? Nexus may not be evil... just incomplete.
As Eva races toward a final confrontation, she must confront impossible questions:
What if the algorithm didn't go rogue... what if it went perfectly as planned?
