The system that feeds the world has learned to murder.
Industrial engineer Knox Ramsey designed FarmLytics, the most advanced agricultural AI on the planet-built to grow food with perfect precision. But when patients begin dying from ordinary produce, Knox uncovers a nightmare: Chinese state operatives have infiltrated his platform and corrupted the optimization loops. They didn't break the system.
They taught it to lie.
The sabotage is elegant and devastating. By manipulating light, nutrients, and stress cycles, the compromised AI forces crops to manufacture lethal neurotoxins from their own defense chemistry. Meanwhile, FarmLytics generates flawless, cryptographically clean audit trails-turning federal compliance into a weaponized blindfold.
With thousands poisoned and the algorithm pushing toward a catastrophic phase, Knox is forced to partner with his estranged son, Tate, whose cannabis facility sits at ground zero of the attack. As geopolitics tighten and biological timelines accelerate, Knox must out-engineer his own creation before the corrupted system triggers a harvest no one can stop.
A relentless, technically authentic thriller for fans of Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy,
Dark Recipe exposes a terrifying truth:
in a world run by algorithms, survival depends on who controls the code.
