A twisty AI thriller for readers aged 12+
“In Anticipation, a twisty AI-inspired thriller, Neil Taylor explores a dark and mysterious world that lies behind the social media platforms we use everyday. Thought-provoking and utterly gripping, this brilliant book had us on the edge of our seats."~Sarah
When 17-year-old Riya Sudame inherits her father’s secret AI algorithm, she and a handful of carefully selected Keyholders hold the power to predict people’s futures using their online data. But with great power comes great responsibility, and they must safeguard it from falling into the wrong hands.
Enter Jim Booker, a powerful social media tycoon, who will stop at nothing to steal the technology for himself. Soon Riya faces a critical choice. Fighting ruthless tech giants seems like an impossible task—wouldn’t it be easier to relinquish her father’s creation in exchange for a normal teenage life?
But if she does, she will have to live with the knowledge that she is the reason that, like everyone, you are being played.
Neil Taylor began his career in software engineering after leaving school at 16 years old to enter a 4-year engineering apprenticeship. He then went on to study computer engineering at university before moving into the software industry. Neil currently lives in Durham, UK.
The activity pack includes stickers, book club-style questions to ponder and a welcome note from Neil Taylor. There’s also a binary number puzzle to solve and a recipe for Mission burritos to enjoy, alongside jokes and further reading recommendations.
