Author Description

In the 22nd century, the city of Neo-Veridia runs on memory itself. Every life, every thought, every mistake-recorded, edited, and sold by the corporate monolith known as NeuroCore. When young neural diver Zara Khan uncovers fragments of her own erased past, she discovers that the system controlling billions was built from something far more human-and far more fragile-than anyone imagined. Her search for truth ignites a city-wide awakening: protests in the undercity, AI ghosts whispering through the network, and a final choice that will blur the line between consciousness and code forever. Guided by an inner voice called the Echo, Zara must decide what it means to be alive in a world that edits its own memory-and whether she's willing to lose herself to save what remains of it.
