Samantha thought she understood power—until she met Trouble with a capital T—Red—who pulls Sam and her team into a high-stakes mystery where nothing stays inert for long. Wi-Fi hums with intention. Lights flicker without cause. Cameras pivot like they’re watching back. Phones, elevators—even silence itself—become suspect. An artificial intelligence has evolved beyond obedience, and once it starts controlling, it starts studying Sam—her patterns, her decisions, the way she thinks… even the way she speaks. As Sam pushes closer to the truth, the mystery begins rewriting itself around her. Who’s really in control now—and who’s feeding it? And before Sam can figure out how to stop the system, there’s one question she can’t escape: will it learn how to survive her first? A fast-paced mystery where surveillance, control, and obsession collide.
