Alex Carter’s life has always been ordinary, predictable, and safe—until a series of mysterious messages shatters her sense of reality. The texts know her thoughts before she even acts, haunting her at home, at work, and in the streets of the city she thought she knew. At first, she assumes it is a prank, a stalker, or even her own imagination, but the truth is far more terrifying: someone has been building a sophisticated system to observe, anticipate, and manipulate human behavior, and she has been its unwitting centerpiece all along. As the messages escalate and the invisible pressure of being watched grows unbearable, Alex finds herself drawn into a hidden world of psychological control, predictive modeling, and moral ambiguity.
