Synopsis
Herbert Jones lives in his mother’s basement, surrounded by obsolete tech, the accumulated wreckage of a life spent online, and Han Solo.
He is obsessive, offensive, sleep-deprived, and absolutely certain that Prizmatik, the most powerful social platform on Earth, is hiding something.
Deep inside Prizmatik’s pristine Silicon Valley campus, a behavioral scientist has learned how to turn human psychology into code. Her algorithms provoke, then amplify outrage, transforming the connections of everyday life into negative global engagement. To her, people aren’t citizens.
They’re nodes in a predictive model.
Gabriel Lerner, a former insider who knows Prizmatik’s secrets, notices a quirky anomaly that shouldn't exist. He thinks someone inside the company is manipulating the system for profit.
When he starts to investigate, he discovers he’s looking in the wrong direction...
...because the person quietly assembling the truth isn't an engineer, an executive, or a security expert.
She mops the floors.
A Ukrainian night-shift janitor with a stolen past and an extraordinary mind sharpened by survival has a gift for being invisible.
While executives celebrate record-breaking growth, she collects what they leave behind: shredder refuse, notebooks left in the open, and stray packet logs.
What she finds proves Prizmatik has crossed a morally unacceptable line.
They taught the machine to understand.
Now it knows how to manipulate.

About the Author
Laurence Davidson is a writer, lifelong traveler, and practicing meditator with a taste for the absurd, astute observations, and a knack for well-cooked language. Based in the wine-soaked hills of Walla Walla, Washington, he's written for regional magazines and newspapers on subjects ranging from food and wine to environmental issues and global wandering. A certified sommelier, accomplished cook and musician, and an unlicensed philosopher, he brings a unique blend of insight, irreverence, and compassion to his storytelling. The Flow is his first book.
