The system showed a priority score of 5.1 for her neighborhood.
That couldn’t be right.
Damla pulled up the data one more time, running the same diagnostic she’d executed a hundred times before. But there it was—buried in the algorithm she’d helped optimize—systematic deprioritization coded into every response metric. Working-class districts. Immigrant communities. Neighborhoods like hers.
Lower priority. Slower response. Less protection.
For months, Damla told herself she was imagining the pattern. As a surveillance engineer at SafeCity, she’d built systems meant to make Stuttgart safer. The algorithm was supposed to be neutral—just math, just logic, just code. But when ethics auditor Matthias Weber started asking uncomfortable questions about fairness metrics, Damla began to see what she’d been avoiding.
The system wasn’t broken. It was working exactly as someone had designed it to.
As Damla uncovers irrefutable evidence that SafeCity deliberately prioritizes wealthy neighborhoods while systematically disadvantaging immigrant communities, she’s forced into an impossible choice. Expose the conspiracy and destroy everything she’s built—her career, her reputation, her carefully constructed place in the corporate world—or stay silent while the algorithm quietly discriminates against thousands, including her own mother.
When her whistleblowing attempts fail and corporate lawyers close in, Damla makes a shocking decision: she and Matthias will disappear. Not to run away, but to fight from the shadows. They will become the Data Ghost, a digital vigilante that hunts biased algorithms around the globe, exposing discrimination one system at a time.
But ghosts can only hide for so long. And the cost of fighting invisible systems might be giving up everything visible: identity, family, the open life they thought they would have.
The Data Ghost is a near-future tech thriller exploring what happens when smart people discover their intelligence has been weaponized, when love becomes an act of resistance, and when the only way to reclaim human agency is to disappear entirely.
Perfect for readers who crave:
– Intelligent protagonists: a systems engineer and an ethics auditor who understand the tech they are fighting
– Plausible technology: algorithmic bias grounded in real predictive policing failures
– Moral complexity: no cartoonish villains, only systems prioritizing profit over fairness
– Smart pacing: thoughtful exploration combined with breakneck thriller tension
– Neurodiversity representation: characters with anxiety and systematic thinking patterns
– Immigrant experience: an authentic Turkish-German perspective rarely seen in tech thrillers
– Romantic partnership: a relationship that deepens through shared danger and shared values
– Working-class settings: the neighborhoods algorithms overlook finally get their story told
– Generational resistance: a family legacy of fighting injustice across three generations
Book 1 of the SafeCity Chronicles—a trilogy exploring surveillance, justice, and what we sacrifice to protect the people we love.
Perfect for readers of Project Hail Mary (intelligent protagonists), The Circle (tech critique), An Absolutely Remarkable Thing (activism and found family), and The Cybernetic Tea Shop (AI ethics with emotional depth).

Il rimborso sarà effettuato utilizzando lo stesso mezzo di pagamento da te usato per la transazione iniziale, salvo che tu non abbia espressamente concordato altrimenti; in ogni caso, non dovrai sostenere alcun costo quale conseguenza di tale rimborso.
Possiamo trattenere il rimborso finché non avremo ricevuto i beni oppure finché non avrai fornito la prova di averli rispediti, a seconda di quale condizione si verifichi per prima.
