Curated record from medical, academic, and literary publications.
Kindle Edition, 2nd edition - January 13, 2026 by Walter Kyo Csoelle (ASIN B0GGJXHQDH, 410 pages). If an algorithm had to choose between saving a wealthy CEO or a beloved kindergarten teacher, how would it decide? Dr. Jana Bravcová returns to Bratislava to join MedCore, where VITAL-7 and the Social Utility Score price patients by economic value. As she uncovers a so-called glitch that was actually murder, she must choose between compliance and stopping the system. Written by Dr. Ľubomír Polaščín, this second edition adds a Developer's Cut appendix, an updated AI chapter for 2026, a new afterword ('Leaving the Factory'), and a reading group guide.
