About this audiobook

In a near future city, Adrian Vale creates Iris, an advanced artificial intelligence designed to manage infrastructure and preserve human life through predictive precision. As the system proves its value during crises, the city debates expanding its authority, forcing Adrian and civic leaders to confront difficult questions about trust, control, and the meaning of human agency. Ultimately, the story explores the fragile balance between efficiency and autonomy, showing that the future of technology depends not on dominance, but on continuous accountability and shared responsibility.
