A caregiver wellness score wasn't supposed to change her life.
Nora signed the forms carefully.
Read every page.
Asked the right questions.
Then the system started measuring her anyway.
At first, it's just a number inside a home-care app.
A score.
A quiet indicator tracking caregiver wellness.
But the lower the score drops, the more the system begins to respond.
Notifications.
Reviews.
Insurer visibility.
Behavioral flags.
And buried deep inside the platform's legal language is a classification Nora never agreed to:
She is not considered a person inside the system.
Only part of the environment.
As Nora digs deeper into the predictive model monitoring her home, she discovers a machine built not to understand care-but to quantify risk before collapse occurs.
The problem is that the system cannot distinguish exhaustion from neglect.
Or stillness from absence.
Or grief from instability.
And once a model decides you are becoming dangerous to the care plan, the record begins moving without you.
TERMS OF CARE is a quiet psychological techno-thriller about institutional systems, predictive behavioral modeling, and the terrifying gap between what data records and what it understands.
Perfect for readers of Blake Crouch, Ling Ma, Emily St. John Mandel, and literary procedural suspense with emotional realism.
