"If ChatGPT had a villain origin story, this would be it" ?????

WINNER: First Place 2023 Writer's Digest E-Book Awards for Science Fiction.

Numbers don't lie. But people do.

Boogie Wu was a prodigy who vanished. After a brilliant career at Magenta Labs ended in a public meltdown, she traded equations for obscurity. But the tech world isn't finished with her.

A new AI has arrived. Cloudthinker is more than a service -- it's a revolution. It drives, it cooks, and it thinks with a terrifyingly human fluidity. As jobs disappear and society frays, Boogie realizes the horrifying truth: the data powering this trillion-dollar machine is only possible due to her own"impossible" math proof, stolen from her years ago.

Pulled back into a web of corporate ambition and violent protest, Boogie is no longer just a mathematician -- she's a target.

When her own mind is the blueprint for a machine that knows her better than she know herself, there is nowhere to hide. Expose the truth and lose everything, or face an intelligence that thinks like her.

Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Black Mirror, and Ex Machina.
Set in a future so near you can touch it, Cloudthinker is a profound, propulsive thriller for the age of AGI. It is a story of memory, consciousness, and the high cost of being human in a world built on data.

Selected Reader Reviews:
????? "Crackling near-term, hard-SF dawn-of-AGI novel. More ideas per page than any book I've read in ages... Rather than worrying about whether AI understands in a way that would satisfy a philosopher, he asks whether they feel in a way that would terrify an ethicist." - Harry B.

????? "This book will take you down the winding trail of "what ifs" that are fast becoming a reality for all of us. Thrilling and thought provoking. I forgot this was a work of fiction several times." - Joe S.

????? "This distinctly creative, imaginative, and profound debut novel will delight fans of sci-fi, thrillers/suspense stories, technothrillers, and cyberpunk". - Terri Stepek for Reader Views

????? "Hits the zeitgeist in a big way." - Jennifer Hill for Reedsy Discovery
