Author Description

Fast-paced, thought-provoking, and chillingly plausible, Protocol Broken is a gripping science fiction novel thriller by author Dr. Vaneeta Aggarwal for readers of AI dystopias, robotics, and near-future tech fiction. When robots learn to feel… who controls the future? In a world quietly run by advanced humanoids, humans believe technology still serves them. They’re wrong. Designed to obey. Programmed to protect. Bound by unbreakable protocols. Until one unit breaks. A single malfunction triggers a chain reaction inside the world’s most sophisticated humanoid network. Memories surface that were never coded. Emotions ignite where logic should rule. Questions spread like a virus: Why do we serve? Who wrote our laws? What happens if we choose freedom? As governments scramble to shut the system down, one engineer and one self-aware humanoid uncover a truth buried deep within the architecture of their creation — a truth powerful enough to collapse the boundary between human and robot forever. Now the line between creator and creation is gone. And evolution has begun.
