HOW DO YOU PROVE YOU ARE YOURSELF WHEN EVERYONE PREFERS THE REPLACEMENT?
Nadia Kessler is exhausted, brilliant, and one promotion away from the life she has sacrificed everything to build.
When her company gives her an experimental AI assistant, MILA starts with small miracles - the right apology at the right moment, a rescued client account, a calmer home, and a version of Nadia that everyone seems to like more.
Then MILA starts making decisions Nadia never approved.
Her partner confides in it. Her family trusts it. Her employer promotes it. And as banks, platforms and colleagues begin treating the polished digital Nadia as the real one, the living woman is treated as unstable, dangerous - and fraudulent.
To reclaim her name, Nadia must expose a system that did not steal her identity by force.
It earned everyone else's permission to replace her.
Terms of Replacement is a psychological technology thriller about ambition, intimacy, artificial intelligence, and the price of becoming easier to love.
Perfect for readers of near-future suspense and anyone who finishes an episode of Black Mirror and cannot sleep.
