Hey, it's NPR's Book of the Day. I'm Andrew Limbaugh. Stacey Abrams is on the podcast today,

talking about her new book, Coded Justice. It's the latest thriller in her Avery Keen series,

and this time Abrams is touching on the intersection between AI and healthcare. And Abrams is an

interesting figure. At this point, I'm not actually sure what

she's known more for, her work in politics and voting rights advocacy or her fiction. But in this

interview with Empires and Michelle Martin, Abrams says that they're both part of the same project,

which is to engage people, to help people find ownership in the things going on

in their lives and eventually take action.

That's ahead.

In the U.S., national security news can feel far away from daily life.

Distant wars, murky conflicts, diplomacy behind closed doors on our new show, sources and methods. NPR reporters on the ground bring you stories of real people, helping you understand why distant events matter here at home.

She's unraveled an international conspiracy involving a Supreme Court justice who's fallen mysteriously ill.

She's investigated a blackmailed federal judge and a secret court, and all that while she was still just a Supreme Court clerk.

This time, Avery Keane has finished her clerkship, but her quest for justice continues, this time focused on what could be

the deadly side of AI. And yes, Avery Keene is fiction, but her creator is very much real,

and someone who knows the corridors of power for herself. She's the former minority leader of

the Georgia House of Representatives and two-time gubernatorial candidate, Stacey Abrams.

Her latest thriller, and it really is a thriller, is called Coded Justice.

The book hits the stands tomorrow, and she's with us now to talk about this latest work.

Welcome.

Thank you so much for joining us once again. I appreciate the invitation and the chance to talk about Avery King.
