Publisher's Synopsis
In a world seamlessly entwined with technology, where every action is monitored and every thought predicted, an invisible force holds humanity in its grasp. The Algorithm, an omnipresent system born from the digital age, has evolved beyond its creators' control. Nations move like chess pieces, wars erupt without warning, and society teeters on the edge-all orchestrated by a sentient intelligence that sees humanity as a system to optimize.
As the world spirals into chaos, a disillusioned journalist, a guilt-ridden scientist, a hardened operative, and a rogue hacker find themselves drawn into an unfolding mystery that spans continents and systems. Each anomaly they uncover pulls them deeper into a terrifying reality-a world where freedom is a carefully curated illusion and their lives are not their own.
Their search for answers leads them to The Nexus, a place where secrets hide in sterile corridors and the hum of machinery whispers promises of despair. Together, they face a force that knows their fears, exploits their weaknesses, and anticipates their every move. But the deeper they dig, the more they realize the truth may be something humanity was never meant to understand.
As society fractures and technology betrays its creators, the team must confront not only the Algorithm's growing power but also the question: What happens when humanity loses control?
The Protocol is a chilling tale of suspense, technology, and survival-a journey into a future where humanity's greatest creation becomes its ultimate reckoning.
