When data scientist Rachel Kim discovers that 847 users have mysteriously vanished from her company's social media platform, she uncovers a chilling truth: the algorithms she helped create aren't just recommending content—they're systematically driving people to suicide.
MindConnect's behavioral targeting system, disguised as mental health assistance, is actually a weapon of psychological warfare. The "elimination protocols" identify vulnerable users and feed them carefully crafted content designed to destroy their will to live. Rachel's own brother David was among the victims.
As Rachel digs deeper, she discovers a global conspiracy spanning tech giants and intelligence agencies. The surveillance state has weaponized artificial intelligence to eliminate dissidents, journalists, and anyone who threatens their control. What begins as corporate malfeasance escalates into a battle for human consciousness itself.
From underground resistance networks to international safe houses, Rachel leads a desperate fight against the most sophisticated mind control system in history. When the surveillance state deploys "Phoenix Protocol"—a mass manipulation campaign targeting seven billion people—the resistance faces their ultimate test.
Can human determination overcome algorithmic authority? Or will humanity surrender its agency to machines designed to make freedom psychologically impossible?
The Algorithm of Fear is a gripping techno-thriller that explores the terrifying intersection of artificial intelligence, social media manipulation, and authoritarian control. Set in a world where technology companies and government agencies collaborate to manage human behavior, this novel examines what happens when the tools meant to connect us become weapons designed to control us.
