  Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. It’ll drive you crazy. Literally. 
  Hotel ballroom lights flicker as the University of Baltimore announces the winner of this year’s Tiberian Research Award in Psychology. Years of toil and sacrifice weigh on Emma’s shoulders. Years of enduring her professor’s unearthly demands. Years of researching mass persuasion on the internet late into the night, living in a single-bedroom apartment on campus while her friends moved away and started families.

  Years. 
  But it all ends tonight. 
  Just not the way Emma thought it would . . . 
  When her professor suddenly goes missing, she realizes the power of her research. The power of persuasion. Gaslighting on a global scale. 
  Now, she must rescue her professor before sinister forces use her research to take over the minds of everyone on social media. And, because everyone is on social media, we’re all at risk. Look at your cell phone. Open your favorite social media app. Post pictures of your cat and catch up with trusted friends, but don’t doomscroll. Don’t believe everything you read.

  Welcome to the world of Illusion! As you embark on this journey with Clara and Ethan, I invite you to immerse yourself in a tale that challenges the very fabric of reality and perception. In a time when the lines between truth and illusion blur, I wanted to explore what it means to seek the truth in a world filled with deceptions. 
  This novel was inspired by the questions we all grapple with: What is real? How do we discern truth in a society that often presents us with façades? Clara, our determined investigative journalist, and Ethan, the reclusive neuroscientist, embark on a quest that leads them to confront not only external forces but also the intricacies of their own minds. Together, they navigate a labyrinth of illusions, uncovering secrets that have been carefully hidden and exploring the ramifications of their discoveries. 
  As you read, I hope you will reflect on your own perceptions and consider the myriad ways in which we construct our realities. The themes of this book resonate deeply in our current world, where misinformation can spread like wildfire and the search for authenticity becomes ever more vital. 
  I am grateful for the opportunity to share this story with you, and I hope it inspires thought-provoking conversations and introspection long after you turn the final page. Thank you for joining me on this exploration of truth, illusion, and the complexities of the human experience.
