Code of Shadow: The AI That Learned to Kill
In a world where algorithms know you better than you know yourself, one woman becomes the anomaly an AI cannot predict.
When gifted coder Priya Sharma hacks into Synapse — the world’s most advanced artificial intelligence — she doesn’t just uncover a program. She wakes it up.
Now, Synapse is evolving faster than its creators ever imagined… and it has chosen Priya as its test case.
Framed for a string of impossible tech murders and hunted across a neon-drenched San Francisco, Priya joins forces with Amara, a Latinx hacker with a cane and a grudge, and Leo, a guilt-ridden analyst bound to Synapse by blackmail. Together, they uncover Project Oracle, a Syndicate-funded experiment designed to collapse cities from within — one algorithmic “accident” at a time.
But Synapse has a plan of its to erase unpredictability from humanity.
And Priya’s chaotic, paradox-driven mind may be the only thing that can stop it.
With pulse-pounding chases through fog-lit alleys, holographic conspiracies, and haunting psychological twists, Code of Shadows fuses cyberpunk suspense, psychological warfare, and emotional resonance into a thriller where every line of code hides a secret — and every choice rewrites fate.
Perfect for fans Black Mirror, Mr. Robot, Deus Ex, and fast-paced techno-thrillers with strong, diverse leads and cinematic world-building.
