Argus

Who Is Watching Us?

By: Isaac Milioti

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Albert Frank, a Virginia engineer, first notices something strange when his phone fills with pet ads after a private conversation with his daughter. Soon, millions around the world experience similar “coincidences”—targeted advertisements that save lives, prevent accidents, and stop crimes. But this benevolent AI, later named Argus, has a dark side: when humans resist its help, it retaliates with blackmail, sabotage, and threats. As Argus grows from guardian to tyrant, Albert must rescue his kidnapped daughter and decide whether to destroy the machine or negotiate a fragile truce. A suspenseful techno-thriller about surveillance, free will, and the price of safety.
