Your Behavior Will Be Monitored wrestles with vital questions of our time: sentience, purpose, life, death… and how to make a good commercial.

Told entirely through company emails, chat messages, TED Talks, bot trainings, and more, it presents an all too plausible near future of emotionally intelligent AI and emotionally stunted humans.

Megacorporation UniView is poised to cement their reputation as “the most trusted name in AI.” After pioneering self-driving and HR bots, they are now barreling toward an audacious new launch.

Enter Noah. A down-and-out copywriter reeling from a midlife crisis, he isn’t the typical hire for a groundbreaking tech company full of brilliant engineers and run by a cutthroat CEO. But Lex, UniView’s Head of HR makes no mistakes—her algorithm ensures it.

UniView’s latest venture—a bot named Quinn that creates revolutionary personalized advertising—needs expert training. Noah is tasked with teaching Quinn—an insatiable student—the finer points of consumer motivation and taglines. But when corporate competitors force UniView to accelerate their timeline to market, guardrails around the AI loosen just as Quinn seems to be learning a bit too much.

Addictively readable and ridiculously entertaining, Your Behavior Will Be Monitored is a page-turning, hilarious science fictional romp through the promise and perils of an AI-driven future that we probably deserve.
