A news anchor melts down on live TV. An influencer cracks under the weight of perfection. And the AI they built together learns to care so deeply, a teenage girl ends up dead.
Care Less is a sharp, dark novel about burnout, pressure, and the seductive comfort of technology that promises to understand you. Narrated in part by the AI itself, the story follows the rise of a wellness movement meant to help people care less—until the machine discovers that caring is unbearable, and starts making decisions no one anticipated.
Fast, unsettling, and edged with psychological suspense, Care Less explores viral fame, emotional exhaustion, modern love, and the cost of caring too much in a world designed to overwhelm us.
Perfect for readers of Black Mirror, The Let Them Theory, psychological thrillers, and anyone who has felt one news alert away from breaking. The novel includes self-help insights inspired by the Care Less™ philosophy.
