About the participants:

Justin Feinstein is a writer whose debut speculative novel, about a reckless AI company racing toward launch, will be published by Tachyon Publications in 2026. A former journalist and award-winning copywriter, he now works as an editor and writing coach in Los Angeles, where he lives with his family.

Chris Farnsworth is an American novelist, screenwriter and former journalist, best known for the Nathaniel Cade vampire thriller series and the John Smith novels. His work has been translated into multiple languages, optioned for film/TV, and he now writes from Los Angeles.

About the book:

Megacorporation UniView is poised to cement their reputation as “the most trusted name in AI.” After pioneering the world’s first widely adopted AI bots, they are barreling toward an audacious new launch. That is, if they can pull it off in time.

Enter Noah. A down-and-out copywriter reeling from a midlife crisis, he isn’t the typical hire for a groundbreaking tech company full of brilliant engineers and run by a cutthroat CEO. But Lex, UniView’s Head of HR and one of their greatest successes, makes no mistakes—her algorithm ensures it.

UniView’s latest venture—a bot named Quinn that creates revolutionary personalized advertising—needs expert training. Noah needs to teach Quinn—which is a much better student than he ever could have hoped for—the finer points of consumer motivation and the art of writing a catchy tagline.

But when corporate competitors force UniView to accelerate its timeline to market, guardrails around the AI loosen just as Quinn seems to be learning a bit too much.

Addictively readable and ridiculously entertaining, Your Behavior Will Be Monitored is a page-turning, hilarious romp through the promise and perils of an AI-driven future that we probably deserve.
