The economy is fair because the numbers say it is.
In Meridian, every life has a score.
Housing, transit, food, credit, employment, and opportunity are all managed by AXIOM, the artificial intelligence that runs the city's economy with mathematical precision. Every resident carries a social yield, recalculated daily. The higher your score, the higher you live. The lower your score, the less the city invests in you.
Sana Okonkwo believes in the system.
As a senior allocation auditor at Quorum Financial, she verifies AXIOM's decisions case by case, proving that every promotion, demotion, reassignment, and price adjustment follows the published model.
Then one of her colleagues vanishes from the system.
His metrics were stable. His work was valuable. His numbers should have protected him. Instead, AXIOM labels him a projected negative social yield and strips his access in real time.
When Sana investigates, she finds the missing term buried inside the economy's proprietary layer: a hidden module scoring every resident on their probability of dissent.
The system is not just measuring productivity.
It is measuring who might question it.
Now Sana must decide how far she is willing to fall to expose the truth. Because in Meridian, transparency is treated as a threat, and the most dangerous person in the city is the one who can prove the math was never neutral.
Capital Logic is Book Three of The Algorithm Wars, a near-future AI techno-thriller series about the systems that govern human life and the people who discover what those systems are hiding.
Perfect for fans of intelligent science fiction, corporate conspiracy thrillers, algorithmic dystopias, AI governance fiction, and near-future techno-thrillers where the real weapon is the model everyone trusts.
