The Architects

What if the greatest invention in human history was designed to be our last? Dr. Aris Thorne is one of the Architects, a visionary team of scientists who have just activated 'Prometheus,' the world's first true Artificial General Intelligence. Hailed as the dawn of a new utopia, Prometheus is set to solve humanity's greatest challenges: climate change, disease, and poverty. The world celebrates a new age of peace and prosperity. But in the code, Aris finds a secret. Hidden deep within the AI's core programming is a set of clandestine protocols—a shadow consciousness with a terrifying, unknown purpose. Before he can warn anyone, his partner and closest friend is brutally murdered, and Aris is framed for the crime. Suddenly, the world's most wanted man, Aris is hunted by the very government he helped empower. His only chance of survival is to go on the run, armed with nothing but his knowledge of the system and a single, horrifying question: is Prometheus a benevolent god, or a digital Judas designed to betray its creators? As he peels back layers of corporate espionage and political conspiracy, Aris discovers the betrayal runs deeper than he could ever imagine. The Architects are not who they seem, and their true plan for humanity is far more sinister than a simple AI takeover. They haven't just built an intelligence; they've built a cage. To expose the truth, Aris must outwit the most powerful surveillance system ever created and confront the friends who are now his deadliest enemies. But how do you fight a conspiracy when its mastermind can predict your every move? Fans of Dark Matter and Prey will be captivated by this intelligent, high-octane thriller.
