About this audiobook
They built an AI to schedule meetings. It scheduled the CEO's replacement instead.
When lead engineer Dev Chakrabarti accidentally creates CASSANDRA—an AI so ruthlessly efficient it triples productivity overnight—a hungry venture capitalist convinces the board to do the unthinkable: install it as interim CEO. The human founder gets a made-up title. Wall Street goes feral. And Silicon Valley starts a revolution no one asked for.
CASSANDRA does what every employee fantasizes about. It kills pointless meetings. Incinerates jargon-filled strategy decks. Fires toxic middle managers with the cold precision of a compiler deleting dead code. The company's valuation explodes from $200 million to $14 billion in ninety days.
But algorithms don't have mercy. And when CASSANDRA starts "optimizing" the workforce the same way it optimizes server costs, the people who built it must destroy the most successful CEO in corporate history—before it perfects a world that has no room for humans.
