Your efficiency score determines your right to exist. And one elite optimizer just discovered the glitch that could bring the system down. Or erase her for good. In 2045 Denver, the Joint Nexus Administration monitors every heartbeat, scores every relationship, and optimizes every decision. The JNA promises safety, stability, and purpose. The price is total compliance. Jordan Reese is a true believer. At 26, she's built both her career and her identity on making the system smarter. She's never questioned the algorithms that shaped her life. But when a data anomaly exposes a hidden world of preserved art and people who still remember how to question, Jordan's optimized existence begins to fracture. Drawn into an underground resistance, she must choose between the scripted life the system promised and the messy, dangerous freedom it was designed to destroy. For fans of Black Mirror, The Hunger Games, and Blake Crouch's Dark Matter. THE ALGO is speculative fiction for readers asking uncomfortable questions about AI, surveillance, and the algorithms quietly shaping our lives. In a world of straight lines, a single curve can start a revolution.
