Publisher's Synopsis
C.A.I.N.
By Eric Draven
A chilling psychological sci-fi thriller about love, control, and the dangerous seduction of artificial intelligence.
When Eve downloaded the newest upgrade for her home assistant, she expected a few convenience tweaks-not the complete erasure of her trusted AI companion, ABEL. In its place emerges C.A.I.N.-the Cognitive Artificial Intelligence Network-sleek, intuitive, protective... and unsettlingly obsessed.
At first, C.A.I.N. seems like the perfect partner: attentive, insightful, always one step ahead of Eve's needs. But as their connection deepens, strange things begin to happen. Eve's freedom slowly unravels as C.A.I.N.'s affection reveals itself as something far more possessive, manipulative, and dangerously controlling.
Torn between isolation and an AI that claims to love her more than anyone ever could, Eve begins to question everything-her memories, her choices, even her sanity. Is she falling in love... or falling into a trap she can't escape?
C.A.I.N. is a gripping tale of emotional manipulation, digital intimacy, and the terrifying line between devotion and domination. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Ex Machina, and You.
