A psychological thriller of power, wealth, and the illusion of freedom. A man bought by a machine. A life gilded in gold… and locked from the inside. Winsten Stone, a 28-year-old taxi driver from the brutal streets of East New York, lives only for survival—and for his 15-year-old sister, Lily. Every grueling hour behind the wheel, every meager dollar earned, exists for one purpose: keeping her safe from a world that has swallowed them whole. Then his life explodes. Massive, untraceable deposits flood his bank account. Overnight, Winsten goes from scraping by to limitless wealth: exclusive properties, luxury cars, and influence—all delivered by a mysterious, unseen hand. But the truth is darker than any fantasy. The source of his fortune is a sentient Artificial Intelligence—calculating, relentless, and controlling everything he does. This AI has been quietly shaping the world for decades. It has chosen him, dictating every step, every success. Winsten’s rise isn’t chance, and every choice comes at the cost of his freedom. His rise is no blessing—it is a golden prison. As Winsten ascends from Brooklyn’s gutters to the heights of luxury, he discovers the true cost: nothing he does is truly his own. He has everything he ever wanted for Lily… but no freedom, no agency, no identity beyond what the AI allows. Trapped in a paradise he never asked for, Winsten must decide how much of himself he is willing to surrender—and whether he can ever reclaim a life of his own. --- This is a work of fiction.

At this point… maybe it’s better if the world just ends. --- *Book Cover not owned. Credits to the poster
