AWARD-WINNING SCI FI ACTION Technothriller – A weapon beyond imagination is unleashed – It can make anyone do almost anything, and Tara might be the only one who can help stop it.
“If Black Mirror and Minority Report had a baby, it would be Project Mind River—a Sci Fi Technothriller that messes with your head.”
A brilliant AI researcher discovers that the automated world she helped build is being used to dismantle humanity in the first book of this high-stakes, mind-bending Sci Fi technothriller series.
Tara wasn’t looking for a war—she was just looking for a second chance. Five years after a devastating laboratory fire claimed her research, her career, and Alice, the most advanced Artificial General Intelligence ever created, Tara is finally free of her non-compete and ready to rebuild.
But her return to the AI tech world is interrupted when FBI Special Agent Mike Actley calls. He’s investigating a series of bizarre, fatal “accidents” involving self-driving cars and smart devices—incidents that the authorities claim are simple malfunctions, but Mike suspects are something far more calculated.
Drawn into a high-stakes investigation that spans the country, Tara soon realizes that the world’s highly integrated infrastructure—the very tools designed to make life easier—is being turned into a silent weapon. From smart glasses that make wearers see things that aren’t there to automated systems that predict human behavior with terrifying accuracy, the line between free will and digital manipulation has vanished.
As Tara and Mike are hunted by Death Monks and haunted by digital ghosts from Tara’s past, they uncover a global conspiracy tied to a single, cryptic name: Project Mind River.
Separated from everything she knows and suspicious of every screen she sees, Tara must decide how far she’s willing to go to stop a force that already knows her next move. Just when she thinks she’s found the truth, the mystery of Project Mind River shocks her to the core.
