Isaac Hargrave was a forgotten man—a brilliant but invisible IT specialist, buried in the shadows of a world that never recognized his genius. While society overlooked him, Isaac quietly honed his skills in the one place he held control: the digital realm. But when his latest creation, an unparalleled self-learning algorithm, cracks the most secure systems on the planet, he realizes his power is no longer confined to cyberspace. With this algorithm, Isaac holds the potential to control everything—money, governments, economies, and even the truth itself. As his abilities grow, so does his ambition. What begins as a desire to be seen soon evolves into a quest to reshape the world in his image, eliminating those who have wronged him and consolidating absolute control. But power comes at a cost. The deeper Isaac dives into his newfound influence, the more he loses his humanity. Old friends and allies fall away as Isaac transforms from a reclusive genius into a ruthless mastermind. The world begins to crumble under his rule, but with each step, Isaac justifies his actions as the price of progress. In a world driven by data and dominated by machines, The Algorithm of Power explores the fine line between control and chaos. As Isaac rises from obscurity to the throne of a digital empire, the question becomes: How much power can one person wield before they destroy everything—including themselves? This whole book is written by ChatGPT!

After a string of inexplicable events—time loops, unsettling strangers, and a photograph of herself in a place she’s never been—Lara is thrust into a psychological nightmare. Her once-familiar city seems alive, shifting and pulsating as though it has a will of its own. The photograph, which shouldn’t exist, becomes the key to unraveling the mystery. Within its frame lurks a shadowy figure, growing clearer with each passing moment. Every clue Lara uncovers only deepens her paranoia: an enigmatic neighbor with cryptic warnings, a seemingly kind friend with secrets of his own, and an eerie text message from someone who knows far too much. As Lara delves deeper, she discovers she isn’t the only one trapped in the city’s grasp. Victor, her steady but haunted upstairs neighbor, and Margot, the alluring and enigmatic woman from down the hall, are drawn into the unfolding madness. Together, they uncover fragments of a terrible truth: their reality is a fractured mirror, reflecting something far darker on the other side. But the city isn’t just breaking—it’s hungry. As time and space collapse around her, Lara must confront the figure in the photograph, the twisted nature of her memories, and the possibility that she is both the hunter and the hunted in this surreal nightmare. In Reflections of the Damned, sanity is fragile, trust is fleeting, and every choice inches Lara closer to the truth—or her destruction. Will she shatter the mirror, or will it shatter her?
