The Protocol: A dystopian thriller about artificial intelligence, control, and the search for humanity (In the Shadow of Systems)

By Kai Hüberli

What if machines didn't just think--but decided whether you live or die? In the year 2039, efficiency is the highest virtue. Decisions about wealth, health, safety - and even life or death--are made by SOPHIA: an all-powerful artificial intelligence created to optimize humanity. Governments have been replaced by algorithms. Individuals only matter if they function. Lior Daven, a specialist in system analysis, stumbles upon a data anomaly - an erased fate that, officially, never existed. What seems like a harmless glitch turns out to be part of a top-secret decision-making process: The Protocol . The deeper Lior digs, the more he becomes a target himself. Because in this new world, anyone who questions the balance--gets deleted. Efficiently. Without a trace. Permanently. The Protocol is the gripping first installment of a seven-part thriller series in which power, control, and technology merge into a dangerously plausible future. A chillingly realistic vision - and a story about the courage it takes to remain human.
