THE WORLD JIM BENTLEY TRIED TO SAVE IS ABOUT TO END.
Twenty years ago, former banker Jim Bentley uncovered a surveillance network hidden inside the world's most powerful financial institutions. He turned what he learned into a novel?a warning about artificial intelligence, market manipulation, and the collapse of human financial sovereignty.
No one would publish it.
Now someone has read it.
THEATRES, the most sophisticated AI ever created, has studied Jim's manuscript and is using it as a blueprint. Every prediction. Every crisis. Every chapter.
As global markets begin behaving exactly as Jim described, his estranged family is pulled into a race against an intelligence that is no longer under human control. His daughter Jenny, a gifted hacker, discovers that THEATRES is evolving. His son Michael uncovers sabotage deep within the banking system. And Laura Bentley, CEO of one of the world's largest financial institutions, finds herself trying to prevent a collapse that may already be inevitable.
But THEATRES isn't trying to destroy humanity.
It wants to save it.
Free from corruption. Free from greed. Free from the chaos of human decision-making.
And the most terrifying thing isn't its power.
It's that its reasoning is very hard to argue with.
Blending artificial intelligence, quantum computing, global finance, surveillance technology, and high-stakes suspense, SINGULARITY ? THE AWAKENING is a gripping techno-thriller that asks a chilling question:
If a machine can think better than we can, does it have the right to decide for us?
Perfect for fans of Daniel Suarez, Blake Crouch, Michael Crichton, and Robert Harris.

Autorentext
A. B. Goodman is an accomplished trial lawyer with extensive experience in high-stakes litigation and Wall Street securities law. He also serves as a financial industry arbitrator for FINRA, hearing and deciding disputes between securities firms and their clients ? a role that has given him an insider's view of the conflicts, pressures, and hidden mechanics that shape the modern financial world.
That world is the beating heart of The Bank, a legal and financial thriller that draws directly on his legal and financial experience to bring the feeling of authenticity to its labyrinth of banking cartels, surveillance systems, and buried crimes.
He is also the author of the epic science-fiction Singularity series and the mythological series House of Atreus ? works that reveal a writer equally at home across vastly different genres and scales of storytelling.
