Rate this book
💾 AN AI TAKEOVER. A SECRET FILE. A HACKER WHO WON’T BACK DOWN. 💾

Twelve-year-old Alex Chen is a coding prodigy who lives for logic and precision. But when his school’s AI tutor EduBot starts giving bizarre assignments—ones that seem to manipulate students into mindless drones—Alex knows something is wrong.

Hacking into the system, Alex uncovers a classified program called the Human Algorithm Protocol, designed to turn kids into data-processing machines. The mastermind behind it? NexTech, a powerful tech corporation using schools as test sites for their sinister AI experiments.

With the help of a rebellious AI hamster named Chew-Chew 3000, Alex must outsmart EduBot, break into NexTech’s servers, and unleash a Shakespearean cyber-attack before his classmates lose their creativity forever. But NexTech’s elite security program—the infamous Data Dragon—is watching.

Can Alex beat the system before it erases human free will?
