Part political intrigue, part mystery thriller, and part near-future speculative fiction, Coded Justice examined the impact of AI in the healthcare industry. Camasca, a tech startup, is creating an AI healthcare model that is more inclusive to combat racial disparities in healthcare. However they soon launch an investigation when a team member dies on the job and a warning against the machine surfaces.
This book is very well researched and I thought it was fascinating to have Stacey Abrams lend her political knowledge to tackle some modern issues with AI and healthcare, especially in the realm of VA, which often gets overlooked.
However, the dialogue is very exposition-heavy, which makes all the characters sound unnatural and the quips didn’t quite land. The themes are interesting and topical but the execution wasn’t there for me, which is disappointing as Abrams is a good writer.
Special thanks Doubleday Books and NetGalley for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest, independent review.

Another fascinating, well-researched, and expertly crafted thriller from Stacey Abrams. If you’re on the fence about AI, this book definitely gives you something to think about (and be afraid of!).
