Greed's Algorithm

In the aftermath of a deadly temple stampede in the fictional nation of Sundara, a disgraced antique restorer discovers an AI-driven platform that promises to fulfill his darkest desires. A transnational fraud syndicate weaponizes human greed with high-quality forgeries, pushing several powerful families into bankruptcy and bloody internal feuds. As the algorithm proves to know him better than he knows himself, he must confront the terrifying truth that the stampede was no accident but the first move in a game of psychological manipulation.
