When how you feel can be dictated by what you hear, sounds will become weapons!

The Global Futures Alliance returns with a technological breakthrough: “The Sugar Cube” – an advanced computer capable of experiencing “artificial emotion.” Their goal? Synthesizing sounds that can drive people to extreme emotional states. Agents David Blum and Tina Santini race to stop a tech nightmare that will alter the course of power, politics, and war – if it isn’t happening already!AI that doesn’t just think—it feels.Induced emotion as the newest weapon in global politics.A high-stakes tech conspiracy based on bioacoustics, and fraught with moral dilemmas.A hero who must confront not just external villains, but what it truly means to be human.If you love tech-thrillers by authors like Blake Crouch or Michael Crichton, the speculative edge of Black Mirror, or books that make you question who’s really in control—this is for you!

“… an engaging portrayal of artificial emotion—one that’s as provocative as it is terrifyingly plausible.” Kirkus Reviews
