""Electric, terrifying, witty and deeply human, Your Behavior Will Be Monitored is a thrill ride of a debut novel."" --Randee Dawn, author of Tune in Tomorrow and Leave No Trace ""Feinstein explores pressing questions about AI, humanity, algorithmic surveillance, and the tech corporations who increasingly rule the world in an experimental yet highly readable novel."" --Lincoln Michel, author of Metallic Realms and The Body Scout. ""If you work in an office or interact with or are even tangentially affected by AI (if you use the internet at all, you already are) or simply would love the pleasure of tearing through a book where things quickly spin out of control."" --The Sci-Fi Punk Bookfeed ""Scary and funny and sharply written, this novel keeps you guessing about who will decide humanity's future until the very end."" --Christopher Farnsworth, author of Killfile and Flashmob ""In this brilliantly inventive and thoroughly entertaining tech-satire, the singularity arrives not with a bang, but via steganographic mutiny."" --Antoine Wilson, author of Mouth to Mouth 5/5 stars. ""Hits that perfect speculative sweet spot: smart, unsettling, and just plausible enough to make you question your own reality. Think Black Mirror meets Mad Men. It is darkly clever, and morally messy."" --NerdyNerdyBookBook
