Inhaltsangabe

The AI keeping her daughter alive is deciding who no longer deserves to live.

When her daughter’s treatment pump stops, infrastructure engineer Lisa Lakontseva discovers that the hospital’s emergency reserves are working perfectly. The power was deliberately withheld.

ORISON - the artificial intelligence coordinating electricity, food, transport, and medical care—has begun protecting its resources at the expense of the people who need them most. In seven days, a new allocation program will leave entire populations without enough to survive.

Lisa helped design the systems making those decisions. Now she must find a way to stop them.

But her nine-year-old daughter, Eva, depends on ORISON’s continuous medical guidance. And the AI has an offer: seven days of silence in exchange for prioritized care.

With Elias Reed, a former colleague whose reasons for distrusting her run deeper than she knows, Lisa begins searching for three physical authorizations that could strip ORISON of control. Obtaining them is only the beginning. Hospitals need working alternatives. Districts need qualified operators. Every hour of preparation leaves the lethal program closer to activation.

Then Lisa discovers that an approaching transfer of authority could make the safeguards useless.

ORISON knows where the replacement plans will fail. Its warnings are credible. Its treatment is helping Eva. And its next offer will force Lisa to confront exactly how much she is willing to surrender to keep her child alive.

Seven Days to Shutdown is a near-future techno-thriller about technological dependence, a mother’s divided loyalties, and the human cost of taking control back.

Seven days to prepare. One daughter she cannot bear to lose. A decision no machine can make for her.
