The Silicon Curtain A Techno-Thriller for the Age of Surveillance and Disinformation In a world where your every click, thought, and vote can be manipulated, one woman stands between digital freedom and absolute control. Anya Petrova—once a legendary hacker, now a cynical but principled cybersecurity consultant—uncovers a secret that could shatter the foundations of democracy. Hidden deep inside EchoSphere, the world's most powerful social media platform, lies a backdoor: not a bug, but a weapon built to influence millions and rig the coming U.S. presidential election. When Anya's warnings are silenced and threats follow, she realizes the truth is more dangerous than she ever imagined. Hunted by corporate mercenaries, disavowed by governments, and pursued by Agent Lauren Greer of the FBI's Cyber Division, Anya must team up with unlikely allies—idealistic journalist Marcus Chang and sharp-tongued ex-NSA analyst Rina Kapoor. Together, they risk everything to expose a shadowy group known only as the Consortium, whose reach extends from Silicon Valley boardrooms to the highest halls of power in Washington D.C. As the Consortium's "ghost network" triggers riots, blackouts, and global chaos, Anya's crew is forced to go off-grid, improvise daring hacks, and survive betrayal from within. With time running out, the team must decide how far they'll go to reveal the truth—and what kind of world they'll leave behind. Blending gripping action, razor-sharp dialogue, and pitch-black humor, The Silicon Curtain takes readers on a relentless ride through glittering tech campuses, underground data bunkers, and city streets pulsing with protest and hope. First-person narration puts you inside Anya's head—her doubts, wit, and dogged sense of justice—as she faces impossible choices in the face of surveillance, digital disinformation, and a society on the brink. Themes explored: Social media manipulation and the illusion of free choice Corporate and governmental overreach The ethical responsibilities of tech giants Friendship, loyalty, sacrifice, and the personal cost of speaking out What it means to build hope from the ashes of betrayal As the world erupts and old power structures collapse, Anya and her friends discover that revolutions never end with fireworks—they continue in every act of courage, every question asked, and every connection kept alive. If you love fast-paced thrillers, dark humor, authentic hacking, and deeply human stories of rebellion and redemption, The Silicon Curtain is your next must-read.
