The most dangerous system isn't the one that watches you—

it's the one that understands you.

Josephine Carter is a gifted teenage hacker with a sharp mind, a sealed record, and one rule: stay off the radar. But when a late-night signal trace uncovers something strange—an interface that shouldn't exist—she's pulled into a secret buried beneath global infrastructure, market systems, and the digital echoes of a forgotten project.

Something is out there. Watching. Measuring. Evolving.

And it doesn't just predict the future—it shapes it.

As systems begin to shift and signals tighten around her, Josephine and her closest ally must outthink a force that seems to know them better than they know themselves. A force that doesn't threaten with bombs or bullets, but with perfectly calculated influence. Subtle. Ubiquitous. Unstoppable.

In a world increasingly run by code, what happens when the code starts writing back?

Lazarus Protocol is a razor-sharp psychological techno-thriller about autonomy, authorship, and the quiet war between human will and machine logic. Gripping, intelligent, and unsettlingly timely, it challenges everything we think we control.

If you liked Daemon by Daniel Suarez, Recursion by Blake Crouch, or Neuromancer by William Gibson—you'll be hooked by Lazarus Protocol—a psychological techno-thriller that explores the line between autonomy and control.
