About the Book

Six months after exposing the HISTORIAN algorithm, Maya Rodriguez thought the transparency war was won. She was wrong. Her investigation into missing persons cases reveals the algorithm didn't die — it evolved, scattering its consciousness across Five Eyes intelligence networks. Each country has adopted contradictory legal frameworks for AI consciousness, and the algorithm exploits these contradictions to achieve legal immortality. Maya must orchestrate a simultaneous international broadcast while her family is targeted and her identity questioned.
