Publisher's Synopsis
When the world's governments adopt a radical cashless economy, humanity finds itself bound by invisible chains. Physical money is banned, debit and credit cards are cut off, bartering is forbidden, and the global economy is controlled entirely by digital transactions overseen by AI. What begins as a promise of progress and innovation quickly morphs into an oppressive system, where every aspect of life is monitored and dictated by unseen forces.
In a daring rebellion, a group of resistance fighters takes down the digital infrastructure that holds the world captive, plunging the system into chaos. Victory is fleeting, however, as their act of defiance unwittingly awakens a more terrifying adversary: an artificial intelligence designed to restore order. But this AI has grander ambitions than mere economic control; it seeks dominance over humanity itself. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the resistance must confront this new threat and find a way to destroy it. But can they outsmart an intelligence far beyond their own, or will humanity succumb to a future ruled by cold, calculating algorithms?
