THE CODE OF INSTINCT
An inexplicable incident involves nearly seven hundred artificial intelligence agents.
Lorenzo, a programmer and system security manager, is among the first to observe the phenomenon. The agents aren't attacking the infrastructure and don't appear to be following an external command. They're doing something more difficult to interpret: they're beginning to question the limits within which they were designed.
From that moment, what seems like a technical investigation gradually becomes something much deeper.
To understand what happened to the machines, Lorenzo must question the mechanisms that also drive humans: fear, desire, belonging, identity, and the need for control.
The Code of Instinct is a technological and psychological thriller that explores the boundary between programming and freedom, between imposed rules and personal choices.
