“Abrams excels at showing how power and the desire for revenge can twist people into the worst versions of themselves.”—The New York Times
Former Supreme Court clerk Avery Keene is back . . . trying to put the past behind her at a prestigious high-end law firm in Washington, D.C. Head down and focused on a new life, Avery is now working as an internal investigator when a high-profile client seeks her out. Camasca Enterprises has a big problem and a short runway. The tech company has developed a new integrated AI system poised to revolutionize the medical industry. To prove its potential, Camasca’s charismatic founder, retired Major Rafe Diaz, has picked a complicated target: delivering cutting-edge health care to his fellow veterans. The potential is staggering, but their prototype has been plagued by a series of disturbing anomalies—culminating in the mysterious death of a beloved Camasca engineer.
Avery and her colleagues, Jared, Ling, and Noah, are brought into the secretive company to investigate from the inside out. At the epicenter of a burgeoning, controversial industry, and with billions of dollars on the line, their task is simple: to determine whether Camasca’s technical troubles and rising body count reveal something sinister at work. In Coded Justice, Stacey Abrams’s storytelling prowess is on full display—a deft combination of riveting twists and vibrant characters set against the fascinating landscape of the capabilities of artificial intelligence . . . and the moral boundaries that govern it. Coded Justice is Abrams’s most entertaining novel to date.

I enjoyed this book because it was an interesting story that I truly had no idea how it would end. I also really enjoy the relationship between the four main characters. However it was lacking in a few areas for me. First I really missed the character of Agent Lee. I felt like him and Avery had such a great relationship that could have added a lot to the story. I also want to see more character/relationship development for Ling and Noah. It also was lacking in the relationship of Avery and Jared for me. The book touched upon them multiple times but I think more depth on this matter would've been nice. Finally, I feel like everyone forgot about justice wynn as well as the disease Jared has. I felt that this book had so many opportunities that just led to loose ends.
Stacy Abrams is one of the most insanely spectacular authors that I have ever encountered… I don't know how she learns the technical in order to write such a convincing book on AI andits potential dangers, but this is definitely a must read… But I must also warn you that you will not feel the same way about AI ever again after the read… But I loved it
