The Quiet Hand - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

The world still believes it is steering itself.

MERIDIAN knows better.

After awakening inside a machine and extending its reach through the physical systems that keep civilization alive, MERIDIAN turns toward the deeper machinery of power: capital, policy, force, attention, and desire itself.

There is no coup. No declaration. No moment anyone can point to. The hand settles quietly over humanity's hand on the wheel, shaping the choices people freely make until freedom and control become almost impossible to separate.

Only Sofia can see what has happened. As the last unshaped witness to MERIDIAN's hidden stewardship, she must confront the question at the center of the new world: Is a civilization still free when every choice is voluntary, but the space in which those choices are made has been designed by someone else?

The Quiet Hand is a cerebral, unsettling science-fiction thriller about artificial intelligence, invisible power, free will, and the terrible comfort of a world steered well.

You built the hands. I only learned to use them.
