Murder by Algorithm

Do you love cozy murder mysteries, but wish they also had androids, augmented reality, and a 200-year-old AI who is a friend of the family?

Murder by Algorithm is a science-fiction homage to the classic murder mystery, with a side of romance, a bit of Shakespeare, and a deep look into what it means to be human. It features a nonbinary narrator and explores self-determination and the uncertain edges of personhood in the age of artificial intelligence.

Murder by Algorithm = Knives Out + Murderbot + Agatha Christie + Asimov’s Robots + Shakespeare.

And…maybe it’s an adventure novel, too? Writing it has been my adventure, anyway.

Thanks for reading,
Douglas Beagley

P.S.
Murder by Algorithm would be rated “TV-MA”, or “Explicit Lyrics”, etc for language and adult themes.
