For Tony Herzog, an underperforming engineer at a Silicon Valley startup, this dream becomes reality the day he unwittingly downloads an unreleased workplace AI program. Soon, he's no longer hassled by his boss on Zoom calls, writes brilliant emails, and produces flawless code. While letting the AI secretly do the work, Tony starts enjoying more success (and free time) than ever before, with the stock options and new Tesla to show for it. He’s even impressing his wife.

​

But nothing this good lasts forever. Enter Kelsey Shepard, an investigative tech blogger looking for her big break by busting companies for unethical AI testing. When she uncovers an off-campus skunkworks and its link to Tony, the bosses at tech giant Infinex decide to have them both silenced. On the run with Kelsey, dodging Infinex thugs and hackers, Tony must not only fight to survive but ensure this powerful technology is put to good use.
