Critical State

Olivia Wolfe, Book 1

What if social media was actually mind control?

Struggling journalist Olivia Wolfe stumbles on evidence of a classified artificial intelligence project involving tech giant Spark, the highest levels of the U.S. government, and international elections. As she works to expose the program, Spark and the Department of Justice try to stop her through the courts, threats, and intimidation. From a lab at MIT, to the halls of power in Washington, D.C., to the streets of Boston, others begin to discover the project and its harms, while Olivia gets closer to the truth, putting at risk her freedom, her safety, and her life.

A political and technology thriller that feels like our unwelcome future.
