Samenvatting:

Power no longer wears a crown or carries a gun - it hides in code, in networks, in the quiet hands that decide who gets to act, speak, live, or die. Dan was once a respected investigative journalist. Now he's a man on the margins - estranged from power, from relevance, and, increasingly, from his own daughter Sophie. But when Dan begins to dig into a world he thought he'd left behind, Sophie is targeted by forces far beyond her understanding. Behind the government's façades of public health, digital security, and technological progress, something far darker is taking shape - a system where control is total, dissent is fatal, and a single algorithmic "switch" decides who lives and who disappears. As Dan races to uncover the truth, he collides with Voss - a man who serves the system until he doesn't - and Nyx, a gifted hacker trapped deep inside its digital fortress. Together, their stories weave a tense, high-stakes battle between loyalty, survival, and the machinery of control. The Switch is a gripping dystopian techno-thriller that blends political intrigue, surveillance, vaccine mandates, and algorithmic control into a chillingly plausible vision of the near future.
