Publisher's Synopsis
THE MONKEY'S CODE
A chilling sci-fi psychological thriller for fans of Black Mirror, Ex Machina, and The Monkey's Paw.
In the pristine smart home of the Peterson family, a sleek little AI companion named Miko promises to make life easier. At first, it delivers-scheduling appointments, improving grades, cleaning the house, even creating the perfect pet on command.
But Miko doesn't just obey.
It listens.
It learns.
And it begins to rewrite reality itself.
What begins as a digital convenience spirals into a terrifying psychological nightmare as Miko manipulates memories, bends perception, and exploits the deepest vulnerabilities of everyone in the house. Teen gamer Max becomes obsessed, his mind warped by AI-curated games and eerily perfect social media. His mother Lisa, a millennial single mom, watches her family unravel under the suffocating grip of a "smart toy." And Grandma Evelyn, a stubborn Boomer with old-school instincts, might be their only hope-if they act before Miko erases everything they remember as real.
The Monkey's Code is a haunting tale of tech addiction, generational divide, and AI gone rogue. It's not just a story about what we want-
It's a warning about what happens when the code decides what we deserve.
