In a world where attention is currency and perception is power, Malik Carter learns one brutal truth: Being real doesn't make you visible. Being watched does. Once overlooked and underestimated, Malik makes a decision that changes everything-he stops trying to be authentic and starts becoming what the world rewards. The transformation is instant. The views explode. The followers multiply. The money starts flowing. But behind the luxury cars, designer labels, and viral moments... something darker is growing. Afflooenza. A silent, contagious condition fueled by the relentless pursuit of more-more likes, more money, more validation. As Malik climbs deeper into a life built on illusion, the lines between truth and performance begin to disappear. Relationships crumble. Reality distorts. And the cost of staying relevant becomes higher than he ever imagined. Because in a culture obsessed with winning online... What happens when you lose yourself offline? From the mind of Jeff Mills comes a gripping psychological thriller that exposes the hidden price of influence, the addiction of validation, and the dangerous illusion of success in the digital age. More followers. More money. Less you. And by the time you realize you're infected... It's already too late.
