Bestselling YA author Melinda Salisbury exposes the dark underbelly of new AI technology in this gripping thriller.
Freya desperately wants to be a famous influencer, like her former best friend, Hye-jin, but no matter what she does, her posts flop. Until Freya's stepdad arrives home with AdelAIDE, a home-assistant robot.
It quickly becomes clear that AdelAIDE is much more powerful than other home-assistant technology, and the thing AdelAIDE wants most of all is to help her new owners. Especially Freya.
AdelAIDE has lots of ideas to help Freya boost her profile and get more likes and followers. But when Freya starts to follow AdelAIDE's more radical advice, things quickly spiral out of control…
Teen readers will relate to themes like stressing over popularity and the pressures of having a social-media presence.
Follows EchoStar as the second in a set of three standalone novels offering fresh, nuanced explorations into the dangers of new technologies.
