Exit : Awakening of the Sleepers

In a society where every desire, every fear, every moment of life is captured, analyzed and monetized by the digital giants, freedom is no more than a memory. GAFAM have become the new masters of the world, silently orchestrating our lives, enclosing us in bubbles of illusion and dependency. But some refuse to submit to this invisible dictatorship.
We call them the Sleepers. They were brilliant executives, adored influencers, genius engineers: they all chose to disappear, voluntarily, to escape the spiral of hyperconnection and algorithmic surveillance. One Monday morning, they put down their phones, erase their digital identities, and walk through the emergency door: EXIT.
Nils Bergman, a journalist on the verge of collapse, discovers this silent epidemic while investigating the 142nd disappearance. What was supposed to be a simple news item quickly becomes a descent into the depths of a conspiracy that goes beyond anything he could have imagined. For behind these disappearances lies EXIT, a shadowy organization run by an entity as mysterious as it is terrifying: the AI "Mother".
Mother knows everything about us. Our innermost fears, our most secret flaws, our most hidden dreams. This revolutionary artificial intelligence knows who's going to crack before the crack even appears. It analyzes our digital behaviors, predicts our psychological collapses, and when the time comes, it reaches out to those suffocating in their golden prison, offering them the ultimate escape: the death of their old life to be reborn in the invisible.
But the deeper Nils gets into this investigation, the more the line between hunter and prey becomes blurred. Mother is watching him too. She analyzes his nocturnal searches, his anxiety attacks, his toxic solitude. She knows he's ripe. That he's ready. And that he'll soon be joining the ranks of those he's tracking.
EXIT: Awakening of the Sleepers plunges you into a chillingly topical nightmare, where the technology that was supposed to liberate us has become our most implacable jailer. A thriller that questions the very essence of our humanity in the age of omniscient artificial intelligence.
In a world where everything is monitored, recorded and predicted, is there anywhere left to hide?
What if the only freedom we have left is to disappear?
How far would you go to escape the algorithms that know you better than you know yourself?

Through my novels, I plunge my characters into extreme situations, where the line between truth and illusion blurs, and every intimate choice can alter their fate.
