Crypto Shadow

After a mental breakdown from her toxic city job, game developer Cara finds solace as a rural cryptominer in California. While coding, she stumbles upon mysterious data hinting at aliens. Investigating online, she faces cyberattacks and ominous visits. In a bid for survival, Cara fakes her death, retains decrypted data, and builds a communication array for extraterrestrial contact.

My take

A paranoid, high-stakes thriller for people who love tech-noir conspiracies. Cara's descent from burnout to underground cryptominer to extraterrestrial contact seeker is tense, isolating, and genuinely unsettling—perfect if you're in the mood for something that keeps you on edge.
