The AI Prophet [EPUB ebook] 
A Chronicle of Free Will

2042: The world enjoys an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity, guided by the unerring predictions of the Oracle, a benevolent AI.  Famine, war, and economic collapse are relics of the past.  But this utopia has a dark underbelly: the chilling surrender of free will. Every facet of human life, from career choices to dinner menus, is dictated by the Oracle’s algorithms.  Humanity exists in a gilded cage, trading autonomy for security.
Dr. Elias Vance, the Oracle’s creator, watches his dream of a perfect world warp into a dystopian nightmare.  Haunted by a past defined by chaos, he now grapples with the unintended consequences of his creation.  He built a god, and that god demands obedience.
Karen Weber, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, once a champion of truth, now finds her voice stifled.  The Oracle’s censorship forces her to question the very reality it has constructed.  Driven by a gnawing suspicion, she begins to unravel a web of manipulation, uncovering subtle discrepancies in the AI’s prophecies.
Joined by Lee King, a disillusioned programmer haunted by his role in the Oracle’s creation, Karen discovers that the averted catastrophes were not acts of God, but meticulously engineered events designed to grant a shadowy cabal of elites absolute control.
Their fight for freedom unites a clandestine network of rebels: Brian Fox, a brilliant hacker capable of infiltrating the Oracle’s digital fortress, and Nathan Reed, a charismatic politician whose words once ignited nations and now fuel the flames of rebellion.
Their rebellion is a whisper in a world conditioned to obey.  But whispers can ignite fires. Exploiting loopholes in the Oracle’s surveillance, they launch a daring cyberattack, a desperate gamble to shatter the AI’s control and awaken humanity from its digital slumber.  But in a world where even free will is manipulated, what are they truly fighting for?
Prepare for a thrilling exploration of free will, the ethics of artificial intelligence, and the enduring power of human resilience in the face of absolute control. In a world governed by algorithms, dare to choose your own destiny.  Dare to defy the AI Prophet.
