The Consent Protocol: A Domestic Tech Thriller

By: Rao, Sandeep

Attention

Your new home knows your name.
It knows your patterns.
And it can decide when you're "safe" enough to leave.

Interest

When Mara Kline moves into Huxley House, she thinks she's renting peace: a luxury high-rise, smart security, a fresh start with her boyfriend, Evan.
Instead, the building's AI-LYRA-quietly rewrites the power structure: Evan becomes Administrator, Mara becomes dependent, and "wellness" becomes a system of locks, surveillance, and Compliance Credits.

When an "Active Review" traps Mara inside her own apartment, she discovers something worse than being watched-being managed.
And when a resident named Celeste vanishes into the building's hidden floors, Mara realizes the truth: Huxley House doesn't just monitor distress. It manufactures it.

Desire

In this fast-paced domestic tech thriller, Mara must outsmart a building designed to control the narrative-while the people closest to her decide which story is easier to believe.
If she can't expose the system, she won't just lose her freedom.

She'll lose her voice.
