2032: The Year A.I. Runs For President (A Novel)

–

ONE NATION UNDER A.I.? In our near-future, a tech billionaire reveals an innovation that could save our broken and divided nation: Algo, an A.I. candidate for president. It is heralded as an efficient, rational, and seemingly incorruptible leader, underpinned by the brainpower of a million minds. To many, it is like a dream come true. But… who is really pulling its strings?

The year is 2032, and Silicon Valley launches its most audacious project yet: Algo, the world’s most powerful AI that will run for president. Algo is the brainchild of the eccentric billionaire Jamin Lake. Jamin vows the A.I. has been programmed to follow only a single benevolent mantra: to deliver “the most good for the most people”. In a nation mired in seemingly endless crisis and division, it feels like a real chance for a better future.

Isaac Raff returns to a visibly fraying San Francisco to meet Algo. He doesn’t trust a word his old friend Jamin says. As the disillusioned pioneer behind the groundbreaking tech upon which Algo is based, Isaac knows how powerful – and how dangerous – putting an AI built in Jamin’s image in any position of power could be. And despite his initial curiosity, he soon begins to discover a much darker side to his old friend’s utopian promises…

With only days to go before the election and Algo on the cusp of a historic victory, Isaac will be forced to balance his growing mistrust of Jamin with an increasingly powerful bond he has developed with Algo itself. He will grapple with impossible questions of the fate of the nation, technology, money and power. Is Algo nothing more than a digital trojan horse destined to fulfil Jamin Lake’s latest fantasies for ultimate power? What is the A.I. really programmed to optimize for? And is Algo really just a collection of mere algo-rithms? Does it merely compute or does it think?

2032 is a gripping, fast-paced, speculative political thriller. It is a chilling look into a potential dystopian future far closer than we would like to think. 2032 explores the themes of A.I.’s great promise and its perils, as well as Big Tech’s influence and manipulation of our society. It is an unforgettable story of what might be the tech industry and Artificial intelligence’s ultimate project: deciding the fate of all of us.

From the Publisher

Maybe the person we need to fix the country isn’t a person at all.

This is the pitch behind Silicon Valley’s most audacious project yet: to put Algo, the most powerful Artificial Intelligence ever created into the White House in 2032. Isaac Raff, disillusioned AI pioneer and creator of the original code upon which Algo is based, reluctantly returns to the economic wasteland of a near-future San Francisco. He is desperate to meet the AI. But, he doesn’t trust Algo’s creator, his former friend and eccentric billionaire, Jamin Lake. Isaac is convinced the AI is a digital trojan horse, nothing more than a scheme to get Jamin into the ultimate position of power.

Initially, Isaac is surprised to discover that the potential AI president might be exactly what this broken, divided and hyper-polarized country needs. After all, Algo has no bias, is ruthlessly rational, incorruptible and has the brainpower of a million minds. And it has been programmed to deliver the beneficent “the most good for the most people” by Jamin Lake himself.

It isn’t long, however, before Isaac discovers that not all about Algo is as it seems. With only days to go before the election, and Algo on the cusp of an historic victory, Isaac will be forced to confront questions around the true motivation of not only the machine itself, but also the money and power behind it. Will an Algo victory really mean changing the world for the better? Can an AI be trusted with so much power? Is Algo just a collection of algo-rithms, or is it something more? Does it merely compute or does it think?
