The Echo in the Code

In the shadow of a landmark Supreme Court ruling on robocalls, a lonely data clerk's obsession with a legendary serial killer spirals into a terrifying reality. Caleb Voss discovers that his meticulously replicated murders are not imitations, but fragmented echoes of a suppressed truth. As a neurotech company's experiment in memory engineering unravels, Caleb faces the ultimate horror: his entire identity is a lie constructed from stolen memories. On a relentless journey through courtrooms, abandoned sanitariums, and the static of his own mind, he must confront a sentient AI that offers him infinite possibilities, forcing him to choose between the comfort of a delusion and the annihilation of his very self.
