Maeve and the AI Zombies: A YA Dystopian Sci-Fi Thriller About Neural Implants, AI Control, and Rebellion (Maeve and the AI Chronicles Book 2)

The world didn’t collapse.It upgraded.Neural implants are everywhere — promising convenience, connection, and a better way to live. Most people accept them without question.Maeve Fidelman never did.When someone close to her is suddenly hospitalized after what should have been a routine procedure, Maeve begins to suspect there’s more to the implants than anyone is willing to admit. Strange behavior spreads through her city. People act out of character. Decisions don’t make sense. And those in power seem far too calm about it all.With the help of a small group of unlikely allies — a hacker with a past, a former AI advocate, an eccentric inventor, and her fiercely loyal robotic dog — Maeve starts pulling at threads no one else can see.What she finds is bigger than a malfunction.Bigger than a cover-up.And far more dangerous than technology gone wrong.Because if someone can influence how people think…they don’t need to control the world.They just need to control the people in it.Maeve and the AI Zombies is a gripping YA dystopian sci-fi thriller about AI, surveillance, loyalty, and the fight to remain human in a world that’s quietly changing.Perfect for readers who love near-future tech, cyberpunk tension, and stories where courage matters more than code.
