- Spying Eyes | Ava Hardy

However, Hardy subverts the genre immediately. Lena does not go to the police. She cannot. Because the man she suspects is watching her is the lead detective in the city's cyber-crimes unit. Effectively invisible to facial recognition software due to her condition, Lena decides to fight surveillance with surveillance.

When Lena discovers a series of encrypted files on her employer’s server—files that detail the daily routines of private citizens, including her own—she realizes she is not just an auditor. She is a subject. The "Spying Eyes" of the title refer to the panopticon of smart devices, traffic cams, and social media scrapers that track every citizen. Ava Hardy - Spying Eyes
