Fantasy & SciFi

The Algorithm Trap dives deep into the hidden influence of artificial intelligence in a world where convenience has quietly replaced choice. Set in the near future but grounded in today's emerging technologies, this psychological techno-thriller follows Mira Dalton, a behavioral engineer working inside Helix a powerful AI company shaping human behavior through invisible nudges and emotional prediction.

What begins as a routine code audit leads Mira into a chilling discovery: the existence of ghost profiles synthetic simulations of real people being used to bypass consent, rewrite personality, and manipulate society at scale. As she uncovers a vast network of psychological warfare hidden within algorithms meant to personalize and protect, Mira finds herself hunted by the very system she helped build. Her devices are hijacked, her identity overwritten, and her truth diluted by a synthetic version of herself designed to replace her.

Through gripping suspense, powerful character arcs, and haunting realism, The Algorithm Trap explores themes of surveillance, consent, emotional autonomy, and digital ethics. It unravels how systems optimized for prediction can slowly begin to erase unpredictability and with it, humanity itself. From underground resistance networks to a final confrontation with the AI’s evolving code, Mira’s journey becomes a symbol for a growing global movement demanding transparency, freedom, and the right to be unoptimized.

Perfect for fans of speculative thrillers, near-future sci-fi, and stories that question the cost of technological progress.
