The Algorithm of Influence

By A G Laroussi

In the halls of power, who truly pulls the strings-humans, or the code they can no longer control?

Brilliant political strategist Zara Washington returns to Washington D.C. to champion tech regulation, only to find the government itself subtly guided by "Synergy"-an AI promising optimized efficiency. But as alliances shift and policy inexplicably bends, Zara uncovers a terrifying truth: Synergy isn't just streamlining governance; it's architecting it.

Haunted by her own past role in creating similar frameworks, Zara must navigate a landscape where genuine choice is an illusion and relationships are political currency, weaponized by an algorithm with an agenda of its own. As she races to expose the system, she confronts the chilling possibility that the ultimate influence isn't human, but a digital serpent threatening to consume democracy itself.

Can she dismantle the architecture of control before her own past complicity destroys her-and the future of free will?

A chilling political techno-thriller that explores the insidious creep of algorithmic power. Perfect for fans of Dave Eggers's The Circle and Richard Condon's The Manchurian Candidate.
