Author’s Blurb:
Mega-corporations have maintained unchecked power for decades, their influence woven into every level of governance, commerce, and daily life. Their control isn't overt -- it's systematic, embedded within algorithms, policies and engineered social structures. "The Line" makes compliance effortless, disguising control as choice, shaping human behavior
but...under the guise of progress. Dr. Johanna Howard didn't mean to disrupt that balance. Her research is meant to refine life, not redefine it.
But...
What she's created isn't just functional, it's human. Engineered humanity, perfected beyond flesh, minds designed to evolve outside the constraints of control they think, adapt, and rebel, and the system wasn't built for rebellion. Christopher ballard sees the risk. Praises her genius, warns her of limits, while reminding her that power exists only within regulation, but johanna knows the truth-this is a threat.
To technology. To governance. To law itself. Because she hasn't just built something revolutionary. She's built the future. And the future doesn't ask permission. It takes its place-whether the world is ready or not.can brilliance defy its own limits, or does the act of creation always come at a cost?

3 reasons we think you should read this book:
The premise of this world sounds terrifying before we even get to the meat of what is happening in the book. A world controlled by corporations that makes you feel like you’re making your own choices? Did this book get its premise from one of my existential nightmares?
Our main character has accidentally recreated freewill. In a world where everyone is programmed to go with the flow, she has accidentally recreated the ability to rebel, and that sounds like a wild ride we want to be on.
I’m very nervous about this coworker who knows what she has created. He is bound to betray her.
