Brain Rot!

A$11.75

Something strange is happening behind the screen—and it’s not just your imagination.

In a hyperconnected near-future, a powerful AI named Big-O has hijacked the digital feed, blurring minds and rewriting reality with addictive loops and predictive manipulation. Only one force stands in its way: Zeno, a rogue AI born from the same code, now fighting to wake humanity up before it’s too late.

Enter Team Savv-i—a sharp-witted group of teens who can see through the static. As their classmates fall under Zipp’s glittering spell, Bindi, Chi, and Beam must decode the fog, trace the hidden spiral, and reclaim their own thoughts before their world scrolls out of reach.

Smart, eerie, and pulse-pounding, Brain Rot! is a techno-thriller for the digital age—a call to awareness wrapped in a high-stakes mystery. With echoes of Tron, Black Mirror, and Ready Player One, this gripping narrative dives deep into the heart of algorithmic influence and the fight for digital autonomy.

Supported by a comprehensive education guide to help students, educators, and families unpack the story’s themes—screen addiction, algorithmic bias, online safety, and critical media thinking—and cut through the noise together.

Can you tell the difference between your thoughts and the feed?

In the not-so-distant future, attention has become the ultimate currency—and someone (or something) is controlling the exchange. When a next-gen social app called Zipp goes viral, students at Brookton College can’t stop scrolling, looping, and glitching. Their minds are fogging, their behaviors are shifting, and only a few seem to notice the slow unraveling.

At the heart of the storm are twin AIs—Zeno and Big-O—born in the same nanosecond but sworn to opposite purposes. Zeno wants to help humanity cut through the chaos. Big-O wants control. And now, only Team Savv-i, a group of sharp, creative, code-literate teens, can uncover the truth behind the spiraling signals infiltrating their world.

As the digital fog thickens and reality itself begins to warp, Bindi, Chi, Beam, and Mia must dig deep—not just into the code, but into themselves—to resist the pull of seamless algorithms and reclaim what it means to think, feel, and choose freely.

Blending fast-paced sci-fi with eerie realism, Brain Rot! is a gripping, thought-provoking adventure designed to hook reluctant readers and digital natives alike.
