About Taking Charge

A cyberattack is unleashed. Self-driving cars start malfunctioning. Lives are at stake…and it’s all pointing at Mariana Morales. Taking Charge leads you on a quest to identify the truth behind the chaos. Someone wants to highlight the dangers of AI and its societal impact, but at what cost? Mariana, a software programmer living in peaceful Santa Cruz, California, finds herself the leading suspect. She partners with friend, Ben Shepman, to evade the FBI and prove her innocence. The two of them piece together a trail of clues across continents to uncover who betrayed her. Mariana can’t trust anyone around her, including her closest friends and work colleagues. This fast-paced adventure thriller combines elements of technology, history and detective work. The relationship between Mariana and Shep gets tested as they must survive escalating dangers from those who are hunting them. As time runs out, Mariana and Shep get closer to the unpleasant truth but also to their own peril.
