Gone Offline

They were never just profiles. They were never just feeds. They were witnesses. Fourteen-year-old Hannah Reyes thought posting meant safety - until one live stream made her a target. Her best friend Elena begged the world to tell her she wasn't dumb, while Maya pressed her hand to the glass, certain she was next. Noe whispered one-word prayers into the void, and Zoe echoed herself until the internet turned her into a loop.
At the center of it all sat Cami Rivera - who said nothing at all, and whose silence proved louder than any hashtag. When their fractured voices collide with the Bureau's investigation, the Crimes Against Children (CAC) Division pushes to codify silence itself into law. Meanwhile, the Platform Collaboration Consortium (PCC) - the very companies that built the feeds - are forced into the open, their executives dragged into custody as the world's protests spill into the streets.
What begins as whispers and captions unravels into a worldwide blackout. Brands collapse, hashtags vanish, governments fracture, and children's voices spread across continents - prayers, echoes, pleas, and refusals remixed into one unstoppable chorus. Told through chat fragments, live-streams, protests, and the unraveling notes of a doctor who can no longer stay clinical, A. S. I. F. is not just a story of girls exploited by the platforms that claimed to protect them.
It is a story of what happens when silence itself becomes contagious - weapon, scripture, law, and survival. For readers of Angie Thomas, Courtney Summers, and fans of 13 Reasons Why, this haunting novel asks one final question:What if the three dots you've been waiting on - Cami is typing. - never ended?
