Why I wrote this
“One evening, my children asked me how social media always seemed to know what they wanted to watch next.
That conversation stayed with me and eventually became this book.”
The Invisible Score started at home — through everyday conversations with my children about how apps, social media, algorithms, and credit scores actually work.
Rather than writing a textbook, I wanted to tell a story. Through Maya’s journey, I hope readers pause, look a little closer, ask better questions, and feel more confident navigating an AI-powered world.
If this book inspires even one young person to stay curious and think more critically about the technology around them, then it has achieved its purpose.
