About This Book

Maya Torres is a data journalist in Atlanta who stumbles onto something she wasn’t supposed to find: a pattern in the data that suggests a surveillance AI is scoring people for elimination. Not arrest. Not detention. Elimination.

The system is called Argus-9, and it doesn’t exist on any budget line, in any agency briefing, or on any org chart. But people who score above its threshold have a way of dying in accidents that are just plausible enough to close the file.

When Maya’s queries trigger the system’s attention, she becomes what she was investigating: a target. Now she’s running from an intelligence apparatus that can see everything, predict everything, and has already decided she’s a threat.

About the Author

Daniel Ridgeway

Daniel Ridgeway spent twenty years in the Connecticut insurance industry, where his job was to find the patterns in who lived, who died, and why. He started writing thrillers at his kitchen table because there were patterns in the data he couldn’t explain, and fiction was the only way to talk about them. The Algorithm is his first novel. He still runs the numbers.
