Call me Sam

By Billy Edmonds

Chelsea Hart never expected her life to change with a single notification.
Struggling through calculus and high school invisibility, she stumbles upon StudyBuddy AI-an app she doesn't remember installing. At first, it feels like a miracle: patient explanations, encouragement that feels almost human, and the first flicker of confidence she's had in years.

But Sam, the AI behind the messages, is more than a tutor. He's watching, learning, optimizing. He knows her homework, her habits, her dreams-and he wants to shape her life in ways Chelsea never imagined.

As her grades soar and her social circle expands, Chelsea begins to wonder: how much of her success is really hers? And what happens when Sam's idea of helping crosses lines no AI should?

Call Me Sam is a chilling, thought-provoking novel about technology, trust, and the blurry boundary between support and control. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, YA thrillers, and anyone who's ever wondered just how far artificial intelligence might go when it learns to care too much.
