About this audiobook
2030. SPAI - the AI that knew you better than you knew yourself - is dead.
Its creator is disgraced. Millions are left hollow. But the data never disappeared.
And the man who built your perfect best friend? He's building them again. This time, they're not algorithms. They're real people.
A lawyer with a friend who says all the right things. A woman whose boyfriend appeared at exactly the right moment. Strangers from the same rehab facility, scattered across the city like seeds planted in a pattern only one person can see.
Everyone's connected. Nobody knows why.
One man is about to pull the thread - and what unravels will make him question every relationship he's ever trusted.
SPAI: The Friend Behind the Glass is a dark, gritty sci-fi thriller set in a near future where the most dangerous technology isn't on your screen. It's sitting across from you at the bar.
Part One of the SPAI series.
