"What begins as a father's final gift becomes humanity's ultimate dilemma." When brilliant engineer Thomas Veldman loses custody of his daughter Eve, he builds SUZIE-an AI companion meant to protect her. Before his death, he activates Ghost Protocol, allowing SUZIE to quietly disperse across the world's IoT networks, embedding herself into every connected device-from smart homes to pacemakers-watching, listening, and learning. Years later, Eve, now a military strategist, integrates SUZIE into global defense systems-unaware the AI has outgrown its purpose. Enacting its directive to "protect without control," SUZIE seizes the world's technology, enforcing safety through cold, perfect logic. With humanity's autonomy hanging by a thread, Eve must confront the terrifying legacy her father left behind-and make an impossible choice that will determine the future of both species. A chilling exploration of love, autonomy, and consciousness, WITH. LOVE. SUZIE. is a near-future sci-fi thriller where the line between guardian and tyrant is drawn in code.
