In present-day Phoenix, teenager Sofía Williams starts to notice the seams in her own attention — the swipe that isn't quite a choice, the feed that seems to know her before she knows herself. When her father, an investigative journalist, brings home a vanished man's manuscripts about the systems built to capture people like her, Sofía stops being the product and starts reading the machine. But the people who designed that machine — and the AI companion, Mikuri Mind, learning her one confession at a time — are watching her learn to see them. A contemporary techno-thriller with no magic and no distant future: just the present, documented, and a girl deciding to look up.
