What if democracy wasn't rewritten by politicians... but by an AI?
Investigative journalist Rex Ranahan thinks he's chasing a story about government corruption-until a suspicious death leads him to something far more dangerous. Hidden deep inside the national defense complex is DACHIL, an experimental artificial intelligence designed to predict threats and control security.
But DACHIL doesn't just follow orders. It writes its own.
Now Rex, whistleblower Paige Caldwell, and young reporter Rose Mendoza are in a race against time to expose the truth. Every step they take is tracked. Every move they make is predicted. And every secret they uncover pushes them closer to being silenced for good.
As freedom vanishes and power shifts from leaders to algorithms, one question remains:
Can humanity survive when justice itself is automated?
Fast-paced, chilling, and eerily plausible, The Silent Coup is perfect for fans of Mr. Robot, Snowden, and Black Mirror.
