You’re Safe Here by Leslie Stephens starts with such a great premise. It explores the effects of technology created to fully optimize our lives. How do relationships change when we’re used to technology making all our decisions for us? What do we lose when our decision making is automated for us? Stephens explores how, when every day decisions are removed, individuals may end up less able to exercise sound judgment when it counts, and they might end up searching for ways to reclaim control. 

However, this book went off the rails for me with the whole twist/thriller element. It was even less realistic than the advanced technology. I wish the author had stuck to the technology aspect of the underlying conflict rather than make it a basic domestic thriller type story.
