In a world where the wealthy reign through unchecked technology, 00457 emerges from over two years of captivity--only to realize the world now sees her as something less than human, claimed, cataloged, and controlled. 
Purchased by a powerful stranger, she begins to suspect there's more to her past, and her buyer, that anyone is whiling to reveal. As she navigates a society built on control and illusion, one truth begins to surface: nothing is at is seems... and no one is truly free.

Running in the Shadows

1 part Complete

The algorithms, they know you better than you know yourself.. They're here, they're staying, but what are we doing about it? Algorithms, once tools, now subtly dictate the very fabric of human existence, from job prospects and financial credit to social standing and personal relationships. The story unfolds in this intricate web of algorithmic control, where individuals grapple with a system that judges their worth based on digital footprints they barely understand. We meet those rendered obsolete by automation, the invisible "shadow workforce" toiling under algorithmic management, and the vast majority caught in the unfair automated decisions. "Running in the Shadows" is a timely exploration of the power and impact of artificial intelligence and big data, questioning the cost of convenience and the true meaning of freedom in an age where our lives are increasingly quantified, categorized, and controlled by unseen forces. It's a story of survival, resistance, and the enduring human spirit in a world struggling to maintain its soul in the face of perfect, unwavering, and ultimately indifferent code. This is less science-fiction, and more science-fact.
