Overview

What if the algorithm isn't wrong? What if it's just... not right? At Perennial Systems, a mid-sized tech company in Portland, AI doesn't take over the workplace. It improves it. Every employee is assigned a copilot. Productivity rises. Meetings shorten. Deadlines disappear. Performance is quantified through Synergy Scores. Engagement is predicted before it fades. Efficiency becomes culture. And then comes ""The Optimization."" As jobs are color-coded and futures quietly recalculated, a project manager begins to question what expertise really means. A creative director wonders whether originality survives optimization. A veteran engineer fights for the value of struggle. An HR director is handed algorithmically generated termination scripts. And a rising star-MARA's best student-discovers that winning in the age of AI may come at a cost she never anticipated. The Optimization of Us is a literary workplace novel for the age of the copilot-an unsettling, intimate look at what happens when efficiency becomes the only metric that matters. Perfect for readers of The Circle and fans of workplace dramas that explore power, identity, and the future of work, this is a novel about being measured, being replaced, and being human in a system that can optimize everything but meaning. The future of work isn't coming. It's already scoring you.
