Body of Proof (THE ALGORITHMIC REPUBLIC; Where Freedom Is Scripted., #2)
Description
In a society obsessed with perfection, health is no longer a right?it's a requirement. Every citizen is implanted with a biometric node that tracks their physical activity, nutrition, mood, and compliance. The system, run by the Ministry of Vitality, assigns each person a Wellness Credit Score that determines their worth to society. Eat too much sugar? Skip a workout? Show signs of stress? Your score drops?and with it, your access to housing, education, and even medical care.
Dr. Lena Voss, a state physician and rising star within the ministry, begins to uncover a dark truth buried within the system she's helped sustain: low-scoring citizens are being quietly euthanized, their organs harvested to extend the lives of the elite. Worse, her own implant begins to change her?subtly altering her emotions, choices, and desires. Is it malfunctioning, or is it enforcing obedience at the deepest level?
Haunted by patients she couldn't save and hunted by a system she once served, Lena joins a desperate resistance of "unfit" citizens and rogue engineers. Together, they must expose the truth before the algorithm decides they're no longer worth saving.
Body of Proof is a chilling and emotional descent into a world where wellness is law, bodies are currency, and rebellion begins with the right to feel hunger.
