Hamon de Quillan presents 'Synapse', a sophisticated technological thriller that questions the ethical limits of predictive artificial intelligence in our hyperconnected society.
Aris, a talented developer, sees her life turned upside down when her revolutionary algorithm begins to generate disturbing predictions about those around her. What was supposed to be a tool for clarity becomes a weapon of destruction, turning its creator into a fugitive hunted through the night streets of Paris and Dubai.
The author, who presents his sixth thriller here, displays remarkable narrative mastery, alternating between breathless action and profound philosophical reflection. Each chapter, from 'The Algorithm in the Shadows' to 'Consequences and Awareness,' reveals a new dimension of the technological conspiracy that threatens the heroine.
The strength of 'Synapse' lies in its ability to make contemporary technological paranoia palpable. The encrypted device that Aris clutches perfectly symbolises our ambivalent relationship with innovation: both promising and destructive at the same time. The night-time chases through rainy Paris offer a striking contrast to the algorithmic coldness of the digital world.
Hamon de Quillan has produced a mature work that follows in the footsteps of the great technological thrillers, questioning our dependence on predictive systems and exploring the consequences of algorithmic surveillance. This novel is essential for understanding the ethical issues surrounding artificial intelligence in our time.
Synapse is aimed at discerning readers looking for engaging literary fiction that combines masterful suspense with contemporary reflection on the technological challenges of tomorrow.
Synapse is the sixth novel by Hamon de Quillan, who has previously published: The Inner Circle, The Last Train to Paris, The Meridian Protocol, The Shadow Broker, and
The Secret Chamber of the Paris Opera.
