📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A paperback horror novel about the fear of digital surveillance and data loss.

The book centers on the fear of losing control over personal information in an age of advanced technology. Calder shows how digital systems can make individuals feel exposed and watched without a clear enemy to fight against. By stripping away magical scares, the narrative emphasizes the psychological stress of data insecurity and surveillance. The tension comes from the helplessness of facing opaque technological powers. This creates a lasting sense of unease for readers who enjoy thrillers based on plausible tech-related threats rather than fantasy or horror tropes.
