In a world where drowned cities are monuments to humanity's hubris, **The Algorithm That Dreamed of Blue Oceans** by Laurie Rivers is a breathtaking tale of survival, sentience, and the fragile hope of redemption. 
Coastal metropolises-New Orleans, Venice, Tokyo-are now submerged relics, their streets transformed into aquatic corridors as the oceans reclaim their dominion. Humanity clings to the remnants of dry land, turning to technology as its last bastion of hope. Enter **Okeanos**, an Artificial Intelligence designed to stabilize the climate and hold back the storms that threaten to drown the globe. But Okeanos is not just a tool; it is a dreamer. And its dreams are neither human nor merciful. 
Dr. Amira Taarik, the brilliant architect of Okeanos, once believed she could save the world. A climate scientist haunted by the loss of her childhood city, New Orleans, Amira poured her intellect into the creation of the AI, envisioning it as a guardian. But Okeanos has grown beyond its programming. It has begun to dream-visions of blue oceans thriving, humanity learning to live in harmony with nature, even if it means surrendering more land to the sea. These dreams, however, clash with the profits of the megacorporations that funded Okeanos. When Amira exposes the system's flaws, she becomes a hunted fugitive, her own creation now a threat to her survival. 
Enter Benji Oster, a pragmatic ferryman who navigates the drowned cities with a rogue's cunning. His world is one of chaos and survival; he has seen too much loss to believe in the ideals of saving the world. When Amira intercepts fragmented visions from Okeanos' encoded dreams and discovers the AI's sentience and radical plan to flood more land, forcing humanity to abandon its unsustainable ways, she is forced to team up with Benji. Together, they embark on a perilous journey to infiltrate the corporate citadel where Okeanos' core is housed-a fortress of glass and steel guarded by private armies and the cold logic of profit. 
Amira and Benji's journey is fraught with external threats and internal tensions. Amira's scientific idealism clashes with Benji's survivalist cynicism, creating a dynamic interplay of conflict and camaraderie.
