Be very careful when you fight with yourself. It is possible to win. That is, to lose.'
A disconnection from the background and a narrator-character who arrives in a space dominated by an uncertain color - neither dark nor light, neither warm nor cold. Not black, not white, rather gray, like mouse fur. There he sits crookedly and judges monstrously life situations, relationships between people or people's relationships with themselves. His thoughts, essentially distorted and devoid of substance, slide into an absurdity treated with sarcasm. The biting irony targets others, it also targets himself. All sorts of things happen, which means almost nothing. And this nothing, captured in countless shades, is presented with a luxury of detail that leads to an intense sensation of the fullness of emptiness

The Artificial Judge is a tense dystopian novel, a unique exploration of freedom, morality, and the fragility of a society that has forgotten what it's like to judge its own actions.
In a future where humans have ceded the power to decide between good and evil to an artificial intelligence, Ana dreams only of a clean career as a police officer. She respects the law, believes in order and the idea that a cold but fair system can make the world a better place, until an absurd accusation hits her straight in the heart: her own sister is declared guilty by the Artificial Judge - the supreme entity that determines the fate of every citizen.
Suddenly, Ana's certainties crack. A world governed by algorithms seems to totter under the weight of a single question: what happens when technological perfection collides with human imperfection? In a system where even thoughts are no longer private, Ana discovers that truth has a price, and justice is no longer a value, but a calculation.
Together with Mihnea, a police officer who has experienced all possible disillusionments, and a hacker who lives in the shadows, Ana steps into an investigation that goes beyond the limits of the law. Step by step, she discovers that the peace of society is based on a programmed silence, and error is no longer a human mistake, but a crime against the algorithm
