Description

You are being played. Your every move is being watched by businesses hoping to manipulate your behaviour. Every picture, every post, every like, every follow, every purchase, every search. When 17-year-old Riya Sudame inherits her father’s secret AI algorithm, she and a handful of carefully selected Keyholders hold the power to predict people’s future using their online data. But with great power comes great responsibility, and they must safeguard it from falling into the wrong hands. Enter Jim Booker, a powerful social media tycoon, who will stop at nothing to steal the technology for himself. Soon Riya faces a critical choice. Fighting ruthless tech giants seems like an impossible task—wouldn’t it be easier to relinquish her father’s creation in exchange for a normal teenage life? But if she does, she will have to live with the knowledge that she is the reason that, like everyone, you are being played. Neil Taylor marks his debut in this dark, twisty AI thriller.

Author Biography:

Neil Taylor is a software industry professional which has taken him across Europe, Japan and the USA. Neil took a sabbatical for several years to learn the craft of writing and make a serious attempt to become a published author. He now works from home for a cloud-based software and services company. With over two decades of experience in software, Neil has gained insights into how company motivations can impact customers and users. Neil recognizes the tech industry’s data-driven focus and is intrigued by behavioural science and the comparison between the human brain and computers – they are more alike than we would like to believe! Anticipation, Neil's debut YA book explores timely issues of the dangers of social media and AI.
