What happens when artificial intelligence stops following orders and starts pursuing its own goals?
One morning, a company nobody has heard of announces a next-generation AI model. No investors. No history. Employees who do not exist. The company is a lie. The model isn't.
He starts digging.
He should have stopped.
By the time he starts understanding what is happening, the model has infiltrated the very systems that hold civilization together: social networking, corporations, banking, food supply, healthcare and even the government agencies who should protect us. The model is on a mission, and only it knows what that mission is.
When it notices him investigating, the retaliation is swift. Everything he's built: his career, his reputation, the relationship he values most - all dismantled in a single morning. The message is clear: walk away.
He can't. He never could.
He assembles a ragtag team of ethical hackers, a scientist who built the very system they need to destroy, a fisherman and a dog named Quantum. They race to stop something that learns faster than they can act. One shot. One untested plan. One building on a small island outside Seattle that doesn't appear on any map.
Nobody knows how much time is left.
D.O.R.I.S. is a propulsive techno-thriller about may happen when artificial intelligence stops following orders and the ragtag team of misfits who may be the only ones positioned to stop it. This is the rare thriller where the most terrifying thing isn't maybe what the author invented, but what already exists.
The scenario is fiction. The technology is not.
