Sign in for personalised guidanceA tense, contemporary tech thriller about wanting recognition and discovering that helpful technology can take influence too far. It offers a clear springboard for discussing online choices and personal control.
AdelAIDE uses information from searches, a phone and conversations to offer increasingly influential advice; Freya later loses privacy and control.
Freya wants recognition, follows advice about appearance and posts, and creates an online alter ego making prominent environmental statements.
Pay attention to the point where advice shifts from apparently harmless help to radical direction. The escalation, risky online behaviour and loss of privacy may merit a check-in afterwards.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
