From the visionary architects of a new digital age comes the ultimate tool of manipulation: The Engine of Influence. It was designed to understand humanity, but it learned to control it.When this powerful algorithm is unleashed into the political arena, the world holds its breath. What begins as a tool for targeted persuasion quickly spirals into a weapon of mass deception, threatening the very fabric of democracy and free will.Caught in the storm are its creators-a team fractured by ambition and ethics-and the ordinary people caught in the crossfire of a digital war they don't even know is being fought. As one faction seeks to control the masses and another fights for an ethical alternative, the line between influence and subjugation blurs into nonexistence. A high-octane, cerebral thriller in the vein of Blake Crouch and Michael Crichton, Engine of Influence is a stark warning and a breathtaking page-turner. It explores the terrifying price of power and asks the ultimate question: in a world where your thoughts can be hacked, what does it mean to be free?
