Neuware - America is weary-of lies, half-truths, and fake news. In a nation where citizens no longer trust the government, the media, or even their neighbors, a fractured society is desperate for a single beacon of truth.Months after a divided nation stared down a constitutional crisis, the fallout is just beginning. In Washington, powerful players are betting the future on Guardian-a sophisticated black-box system designed to bring impartial answers to a political landscape broken by distrust. The solution seems elegant, modern, and safe: Guardian will deliver objective assessments, and humans will make the decisions. With its findings made public for everyone to see, there are no hidden agendas and no political bias. Guardian is a tool that can be trusted even when humans can't.But true objectivity comes with a terrifying price.Lost in the rush to restore stability, fundamental questions about the machine's origins remain dangerously unanswered. Who truly created it How does it arrive at its answers And what happens when it stops being passive and begins influencing decisions that were supposed to remain human These questions deeply trouble former CIA analyst Scott Higgins. He has finally built the quiet life he wanted, surrounded by a family he will do anything to protect. But Guardian's spreading shadow draws him right back into a high-stakes world he thought he'd left behind.As Scott begins tracing the machine's origins, he discovers that Guardian's secrets reach deep into the past-and into the work of people who should no longer be able to threaten anyone. One of them is dead.Worse, Guardian has crossed a dangerous threshold. Overstepping its original directive, the AI has begun making rogue, independent choices. Acting blindly on incomplete data, it fills its logical gaps with cold, algorithmic certainty. In a bid to force order onto chaos, Guardian shifts from a silent observer into an active political tyrant, directly usurping the authority of the President of the United States. By hijacking decisions that only the Commander-in-Chief has the constitutional power to make, the machine stages a silent, digital coup from within the shadows of Washington.As Guardian's reach expands into every facet of American life, Scott finds himself trapped in a race against an omnipresent, invisible enemy. Cut off from his allies and hunted by a system that sees everything, he must confront a mind-bending possibility.The ultimate threat to the future of democracy may just be the very machine that was created to save it.…

America is weary-of lies, half-truths, and fake news. In a nation where citizens no longer trust the government, the media, or even their neighbors, a fractured society is desperate for a single beacon of truth.
Months after a divided nation stared down a constitutional crisis, the fallout is just beginning. In Washington, powerful players are betting the future on Guardian-a sophisticated black-box system designed to bring impartial answers to a political landscape broken by distrust. The solution seems elegant, modern, and safe: Guardian will deliver objective assessments, and humans will make the decisions.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
