Overview

Curmudgeonly artist Thackery wakes to discover their best friend has been murdered, and the detective is a sentient AI. To find the killer, Thackery joins the investigation and leads the inscrutable Cye-9 on a frantic tour of the Island, planet Earth's exclusive artist community.

Can their investigation survive a flaming wheelbarrow, Shakespearean therapy, and the most-watched parlor scene ever streamed?

Murder by Algorithm is a science fiction homage to the classic cozy mystery. It features a nonbinary narrator and explores self-determination and the uncertain edges of personhood in the age of artificial intelligence.
