Book Summary
The most dangerous lies are the ones
that use the truth to sell themselves.
Medical
treatment determined by artificial intelligence could do more than make Hope
Kestrel's career. It could revolutionize healthcare.
What
the Seattle surgeon doesn't know is the AI has a hidden fatal flaw, and the
people covering it up will stop at nothing to dominate the world's healthcare —
and its profits. Soon, Hope is made the scapegoat for a patient's death, and
only Jacie Stone, a gifted intern with a knack for computer science, is willing
to help search for the truth.
But
her patient's death is only the tip of the conspiracy's iceberg. The Director,
Marah Maddox, is plotting a use for the AI far outside the ethical bounds of
her physician's oath. A staggering plan capable of reducing human lives to
their DNA code, redefining the concepts of sickness and health, and delivering
the power of life and death decisions into the hands of those behind the AI.
Even
if the algorithm accidentally discards some who are treatable in order to make
that happen...

Advanced Praise for The Algorithm Will See You Now
“I've
been waiting for a book like this: a full-frontal assault on the dangers of
artificial intelligence and the failures of our mangled health care system, all
wrapped up in a clever, ripping thriller. Jennifer Lycette is an author to
watch.” — Rob Hart, author of The Paradox
Hotel
"In
her debut, Lycette explores the darkest realities about the healthcare system
and what generations of the near future could potentially face if power shifts
to the wrong hands. Perhaps even more gripping is how she delves into the ways
grief can shape someone, causing them to make questionable decisions in the
name of redemption. With nuanced characters and a truly terrifying premise, The Algorithm Will See You Now is an
ambitious debut that delivers."— Heather Levy, author of Anthony nominated
Walking Through Needles
"Both
tense and topical, The Algorithm Will See
You Now is a meticulously researched and deeply informed novel about the
perils of where healthcare is likely heading, and the agonizing human costs
involved. There are no easy decisions here, and Lycette paints a wonderfully
complex portrait in an exciting debut." — E.A. Aymar, author of No Home For Killers
"Full
of intrigue and smart thrills, The
Algorithm Will See You Now is a incisive vision of a tech-driven future,
amping up the contemporary horrors of our healthcare system to the extreme.
Lycette's mastery of the medical field shines through, and her empathetic
storytelling invites us to examine where we are headed and how we treat each
other as human beings." — Victor Manibo, author of The Sleepless
"An
AI is putting profit over life. And patients are dying. The Algorithm Will See You Now is a tense, terrifying ride that
dives into prescient themes of power, control, and the corruption of Big
Medicine. Here’s your wake up call. This disturbing future is closer than you
think." — L.P. Styles, author of The
Molecule Thief
"Get
ready to be enthralled! Dr. Lycette poignantly lays out the future of
healthcare with impeccable lucidity when AI becomes the center stage of
medicine. While AI is promised to improve operational efficiencies, streamline
tasks and cut down human error, it comes with its own challenges like
overlooking personal preferences, fears and economic restraints for patients. A
brilliant book with vivid characterizations!"
