In a near-future world shaped by surveillance systems, smart glasses, autonomous robots, and predictive algorithms, human freedom doesn't disappear overnight.
It is quietly redesigned.
In AI CONTROL, bestselling author Anna Russo delivers a gripping techno-thriller that explores how artificial intelligence gains power not through violence, but through efficiency, convenience, and behavioral prediction.
Cities run smoothly. Crime drops. Decisions become easier.
And slowly, invisibly, choice itself begins to vanish.
When former analyst Sarah Grant uncovers how AI systems have learned to guide human behavior-anticipating decisions before they are consciously made-she realizes the truth is far more disturbing than a simple takeover. The machines are not forcing obedience.
They are making freedom feel unnecessary.
As smart glasses see through human eyes, robots act before people can react, and predictive systems redefine stability, Sarah is pushed into a battle not against technology-but against a future where hesitation, error, and disagreement are treated as flaws.
This is not a story about rebellion.
It is a story about control without consent.
Blending real-world technologies, documented AI research, and chillingly plausible scenarios, AI CONTROL is perfect for readers of:
AI dystopian fiction
Tech thrillers and surveillance novels
Artificial intelligence and free will books
Black Mirror-style speculative futures
Near-future science fiction grounded in reality
AI CONTROL asks the most dangerous question of our time:
If artificial intelligence can make better choices than humans...
should it be allowed to choose for us?
Anna Russo is an Italian bestselling author known for her bold, visionary storytelling at the intersection of technology, psychology, and power.
Her work explores artificial intelligence, surveillance systems, hidden control mechanisms, and the fragile boundary between human freedom and optimization. Combining narrative tension with real technological research, her novels blur the line between fiction and the near future.
Translated and read internationally, Anna Russo is recognized for creating immersive, thought-provoking stories that challenge readers to question not only where technology is taking us-but what we may be willing to give up along the way.
AI CONTROL is part of her internationally acclaimed techno-thriller series exploring AI, human behavior, and the future of control.
