The Algorithm Between Us

In 2051, love is no longer left to chance. It is decided by an algorithm.

The Pairing Protocol promises everyone a compatible partner. Powered by advanced artificial intelligence and trusted by governments around the world, it has transformed relationships into something that can be measured, predicted, and assigned.

But what happens when the system decides you are meant to be alone?

Zara Malik has spent six years waiting for a match. As an analyst inside the Bureau, she has always believed in the Protocol until an investigation brings her face to face with Kael Duren, a wanted man whose eligibility was secretly erased.

Kael knows the truth about the system. And it is far worse than a technical failure.

Hidden beneath the Protocol is a mechanism called the Filter, designed to suppress compatible matches for political and social reasons. Millions of people may have been denied choices they never knew they had.

As Zara follows the evidence, her faith in the institution she serves begins to collapse. The deeper she investigates, the more dangerous the truth becomes and the closer she grows to the one person the system deliberately excluded.

To expose the conspiracy, they must risk their freedom, their futures, and everything they have begun to mean to each other.

In a world built on calculated compatibility, can two people still choose their own future?

THE ALGORITHM BETWEEN US is a near-future dystopian science fiction novel exploring artificial intelligence, government surveillance, algorithmic control, political manipulation, and the human need for connection.

For readers who enjoy speculative futures, technological conspiracies, and love stories that challenge the systems designed to control them.
