"Symbiosis" by Ryan LeKodak a fourth installment of paper war series had me hook from the beginning. It is thought-provoking set in a dystopian future where the lines between humanity and technology are increasingly blurred. The novel has a themes of power, memory manipulation, and the psychological toll of survival in a world dominated by artificial intelligence.
CJ and Manar are both protagonists who face significant challenges in a world dominated by AI. Their stories intertwine as they seek to understand and possibly resist the overwhelming influence of technology on their lives. Their personal struggles, their relationships with each other, and their efforts to find a way forward in a society that has lost its way is so interesting. The unexpected twist made me gasp and made me think a lot about it about the consequences of our own actions.
If you are a fan of sci-fi this book is a must to read.

Ryan LeKodak does it again in the fourth entry in the Paper War series, it had that element that I enjoyed from the previous three books. The characters had that element that I was looking for and was hooked from the first page. It continued the story perfectly and was enjoying the characters in this story. It was written in a way that worked well overall and thought Ryan LeKodak wrote this perfectly.

Symbiosis is a high-stakes sci-fi thriller that keeps you guessing at every turn. CJ and Manar might have escaped the Virtual Realm, but the lingering threat of Helene and the mysterious blackouts suggest the battle for humanity is far from over. The story dives deep into questions about AI, humanity, and the cost of technological ambition, all while delivering edge-of-your-seat suspense. It had me hooked from start to finish.

Whoa, Symbiosis took me on a rollercoaster of tech chaos, conspiracy vibes, and "oh no, is the AI still out there?!" panic! CJ and Manar’s fight isn’t over, and honestly, neither was my anxiety while reading (in the best way). The twists kept hitting like a sci-fi sucker punch, and the whole "what makes us human" debate had me rethinking my entire Netflix queue. If you’re into thrilling, brainy, edge-of-your-seat reads, grab this ASAP. 🤖⚡📘
