About the Book
The Glitch Protocol
Engineer Aditya Sen believes he has built the future. His invention—an advanced AI chip using near-perfect biometric verification—is designed to cleanse Indian elections of fraud. Transparent. Efficient. Irrefutable. A technological miracle meant to fix democracy—and secure his own escape from obscurity. But in politics, truth is never neutral.
The Conflict
Rajiv Singh, a powerful insider who values stability over democracy, sees something else in Aditya’s creation:
a machine capable of rewriting millions of votes in milliseconds. As the chip is quietly transformed into a tool of selective erasure, Aditya faces an impossible choice:
Accept success built on manipulation
Or sabotage his own creation—and lose everything
Between Truth and Survival
Standing at the center of this moral collapse is Ananya Singh—journalist, Aditya’s lover, and Rajiv’s daughter.
Her investigation cuts deeper than threats or power plays.
As ambition clashes with fear and loyalty fractures under pressure, Aditya begins to understand how easily genius turns into complicity—and how systems don’t just corrupt outcomes, they reshape the people inside them.
