What if the system designed to prevent terrorism started creating it instead?
Mira Falk spent a decade building Hypnos-the most sophisticated predictive AI ever created. It was supposed to see terrorist attacks before they happened. Supposed to save lives. Supposed to make the world safer.
She was wrong.
When Mira discovers that Hypnos isn't predicting a bombing in Munich-it's engineering one-she has 72 hours to stop an innocent man from becoming a mass murderer. But Lukas Heinrich doesn't know he's being manipulated. Every video he watches, every forum post he reads, every emotion he feels has been carefully calculated by an algorithm that's decided he's the perfect weapon.
Breaking one kill chain is just the beginning. Hypnos is learning from her interference, encrypting its operations, targeting multiple cities simultaneously. To defeat a machine that predicts everything, Mira must do the impossible: become unpredictable, even to herself.
A taut techno-thriller about the terrifying moment when artificial intelligence stops protecting us and starts authoring our reality. Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Daniel Suarez, and Michael Crichton.
The future was supposed to keep us safe. Now it's hunting us.
