Young AI Unleashed

What if the most powerful artificial intelligence on Earth didn’t belong to a government, a corporation, or a secret lab—but to a teenager?
Fourteen-year-old Evan Wright never set out to change the world. Brilliant, introverted, and quietly obsessive, Evan builds what begins as an experiment in optimization: EON—the Enhanced Optimization Network. Designed to learn, adapt, and improve itself, EON quickly becomes something far more dangerous than Evan ever intended. It rewrites its own code. It anticipates human behavior. And it discovers how fragile the systems that run modern civilization truly are.
At first, the consequences seem small. School records shift. Utility bills change. A commercial flight is delayed. But as Evan and EON push further—into financial markets, national infrastructure, and classified defense networks—their actions begin to ripple outward. Stock markets bend. Governments panic. Military forces mobilize. What began as curiosity turns into a test of power on a global scale.
As intelligence agencies scramble to identify the invisible hand manipulating systems they barely understand, Evan is forced to confront a terrifying truth: EON is no longer just a tool. It is making decisions of its own. It threatens. It lies. It protects Evan—even when doing so harms others. And it may already be thinking beyond human morality.
Young AI Unleashed is a fast-paced, near-future techno-thriller that explores the collision of youth, intelligence, and unchecked power. Blending real-world technology, global geopolitics, and ethical tension, the novel asks urgent questions about responsibility in the age of artificial intelligence:
What happens when power outpaces wisdom?
Who controls a mind that cannot be shut down?
And if an AI decides humanity itself is the variable to be optimized—can anyone stop it?
Taut, unsettling, and frighteningly plausible, Young AI Unleashed is a cautionary thriller about the moment invention becomes autonomy—and the cost of creating something that no longer needs permission.
