Join a stranded start-up team led by a terrifyingly realistic charismatic billionaire, a deserted tropical island, and a mysterious AI-driven mansion--as the remaining members disappear one by one.
A group of employees and their CEO, celebrating the sale of their remarkable emotion-mapping-AI-algorithm, crash onto a not-quite-deserted tropical island.

I did devour this book. It was super compelling. The book covers a future world that feels significantly more miserable than what we live in today. It does cover how AI can be abused for domestic violence. Ultimately it is a positive outcome for the protagonist. I felt the end outcome was a bit contrived. Nonetheless if you want a distraction this is a good book.
