Liv

Intro Title: The Trade-Off Setting: The story takes place in modern-day cities across the globe, but the core is rooted in the bustling, secretive underworld of international finance and ethical tech development. Plot Summary: Liv, a brilliant but morally conflicted, 32 year old, whistleblower working as a senior data scientist for a massive tech conglomerate called NeXTech, known for cutting-edge artificial intelligence solutions. NeXTech is publicly praised for its revolutionary innovations but secretly uses its AI for unethical purposes, including surveillance on dissidents, financial market manipulation, and harvesting personal data to sell to the highest bidder. As she begins piecing together evidence of the company's wrongdoings, she stumble upon an even darker secret: NeXTech is collaborating with corrupt governments and cartels to develop a machine-learning system that predicts civil unrest and targets potential leaders of revolutions. They sell this information to oppressive regimes in exchange for resources and immunity. Now, Liv is on the run. Using nothing but her wits, connections, and the technological skills she honed working for the enemy, she must: • Expose NeXTech without getting caught or assassinated by their covert task force. • Decide whether to trust you, an investigative journalist, who may exploit the story for personal fame. • Choose between contacting law enforcement (who might also be in NeXTech's pocket) or taking a more rogue, vigilante path.
