A data-driven dystopia

In the America presented here, the Algorithm’s authority reaches into private thought as well as public life: citizens wear devices that gather data, cameras monitor their movements, and dissent is met with public torture. Altered histories and sealed borders further shape a society where control extends to both information and movement. Hugo faces a stark choice within this system: comply with the Algorithm’s demands or risk torture. The premise brings together artificial intelligence, pervasive surveillance, political division, and the consequences of enforced conformity.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in dystopian science fiction centered on artificial intelligence and surveillance.
  • Readers who seek speculative stories about political control, dissent, and altered history.

Book overview

The path to Hugo's perfect life is simple. Wear his device, follow the demands of the Algorithm, and gather his data. But if he refuses, he risks a life of endless torture.

 

Ginsberg's frightening story is timely in an era when citizens of [a] divided United States are more than ready to blame 'the other' for the nation's problems. -Kirkus Reviews

 

Following the Siege of Washington, D.C., the power of the Algorithm is made absolute. Now, every left ear bears a Data Gathering Device, granting the Algorithm access to every thought and desire. Cameras surveil Americans' every move. Dissenters are publicly tortured. The history of pre-Algorithmic Times has been altered. And border walls keep all foreigners out and Americans in.
