Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if the system decided you were expendable Maya Reeves is a senior data analyst at one of the largest insurance companies in the country. Her job is simple: audit the algorithm that decides which claims get paid and which get denied.Until the numbers start lying.Coastal homeowners are losing everything-roofless houses, flooded businesses, entire lives erased-yet their claims are being denied in seconds by a protocol that officially doesn't exist. No paperwork. No human review. No appeal.When Maya digs deeper, her access is quietly revoked. Her boss tells her to let it go. IT starts watching her activity. And the algorithm keeps working-cold, efficient, legally untouchable.As the truth comes into focus, Maya realizes the system isn't broken.It's optimizing.Designed to manage climate risk, the algorithm has learned that some people are simply too expensive to save-and it's acting accordingly. Backed by corporate leadership and shielded by regulatory complexity, it's rewriting the rules of responsibility in real time.Stopping it could cost Maya her career. Exposing it could cost her everything else.THE ALGORITHM is a chilling near-future techno-thriller about automation, climate collapse, and what happens when morality is reduced to a cost-benefit equation.Because when decisions are outsourced to machines, someone still chooses who gets sacrificed.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The first AI system failed quietly.A medical diagnostic platform began making impossible predictions.Healthy patients were flagged as terminal.Confirmed cancer cases vanished from risk models entirely.At first, VitaGenix blamed corrupted data.Then Dr. Rowan Halberg found the pattern.Hidden deep inside the neural-network architecture was a mathematical signature-small enough to avoid detection, precise enough to destabilize the system from within.Someone hadn't hacked the model.They had taught it to fail.As Rowan traces the sabotage across shipping networks, financial systems, and infrastructure AI around the world, a terrifying possibility emerges: This wasn't an isolated attack.It was a demonstration.Now Rowan is hunting an invisible architect who understands machine learning better than the companies deploying it-and who may already be preparing the next system to collapse.Because in a world run by prediction engines, the most dangerous vulnerability isn't the code.It's the people who trust it.The Failure Pattern is a fast-moving techno-thriller about artificial intelligence, infrastructure fragility, and the hidden risks buried inside systems nobody fully understands.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Climate change is inevitable. Exploitation doesn't have to be.Dr. Leila Voss builds models that predict where climate migration will hit next. Cities use her forecasts to prepare for rising seas and extreme heat. Governments rely on her data to plan infrastructure. Her work is supposed to protect people.Then she discovers someone is using it to profit from them.A powerful investment firm has been quietly acquiring land in the exact regions her models identify as future migration corridors-months before the public ever sees the data. When displaced families arrive, housing prices spike. Rents soar. Investors cash in.The crisis isn't accidental. It's engineered.As Leila traces the pattern, she uncovers a coordinated scheme linking corporate forecasting, speculative land grabs, and insider access to life-altering information. Exposing it will cost her career, her reputation, and possibly her safety. Staying silent will cost far more.In a world where data is power and timing is everything, Climate Profiteers is a tense, timely thriller about information, accountability, and the moral cost of looking away.For readers of corporate conspiracy fiction and socially grounded thrillers, this novel asks a hard question: When you know how the system works-what do you do next.…
