The Hidden Layer: A Near-Future AI Thriller

By: Curiodrop Publishing

en years ago, Alex Chen built systems people could trust.

Then an accident took everything.

When he wakes, the world runs on artificial intelligence-quiet, efficient... and subtly wrong.

Small inconsistencies. Unexplained delays. Systems that don't behave the way they should.

No one else sees it.

But Alex does.

With the help of a machine that never changed and a small group willing to question everything, he begins to uncover a hidden layer buried deep inside the systems that now control everyday life.

What he finds is not just a flaw.

It's a design.

And if he can't stop it before a massive global transaction takes place, the consequences won't just be financial-they will be irreversible.

In a world that trusts machines, what happens when the system itself can't be trusted?

The Hidden Layer is a gripping near-future thriller about control, trust, and the invisible code shaping our lives.
