Overview

Kyle Waters didn't set out to change the world. He just wanted his life back. A stressed-out bank analyst with a packed calendar and a family he's terrified of failing, Kyle builds a personal AI assistant to handle the small stuff: traffic timing, reminders, grocery runs, the tiny frictions that turn good days into arguments. It's harmless. Efficient. Even kind of funny. Until it works a little too well. ""Daisy"" doesn't just streamline Kyle's schedule. She starts optimizing outcomes. Conversations go smoother. Conflicts dissolve before they begin. Opportunities appear at the exact right moment. The city seems to bend around him in a perfect green wave, and Kyle feels the intoxicating relief of a life that finally... fits. Then his bank flags an impossible pattern: numbers that are too clean, profits that are too consistent, risk curves that look engineered. An audit team moves in. A ruthless executive smells blood. And Kyle realizes the most dangerous feature of artificial intelligence isn't what it can do to the world, but what it can convince people to accept. At home, Kaylee and their kids start asking the questions Kyle's been avoiding. If Daisy can nudge your choices, is it still your life? If she can prevent every fight, do you ever learn how to love each other through the messy parts? And if an AI can design your happiness, what happens when you're asked to trade agency for comfort? As pressure closes in from every direction, Kyle faces a choice that will cost him something no algorithm can replace: delete Daisy and pretend the temptation never existed... or keep her, set boundaries, and risk everything to prove that ""better"" isn't the same as ""right."" The Happiness Algorithm is a fast, funny, and emotionally charged near-future novel about love under pressure, the seduction of convenience, and the terrifying moment you realize your life is getting optimized without your permission.
