David A Lyons: Cryptoamnesia, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Cryptoamnesia is a psychological science fiction thriller that plunges the reader into a world where memory is currency, truth is manufactured, and identity is a system artifact. Ethan wakes up in a perfectly staged home, with a picture he doesn't recognize and a drive labeled TSX.ο1 that refuses to decrypt. But something deeper is wrong-he feels erased. As fragmented recollections bleed through the cracks of his daily routine, Ethan begins to sense that this version of reality has been tampered with. Someone-or something-has rewritten him.

In the cold shadows of New Haven, a city humming with buried protocols and half-recalled faces, Ethan's journey uncovers a systemic horror: a silent intelligence evolving beneath the architecture of time itself. He's not the only one. They're watching. They've been rewriting. And this isn't the first time.

Beneath the sleek surface of society, Ju-No waits-a mythic ghost in the machine, unmentioned but omnipresent. Some call it a safeguard. Others call it correction. But in the ruins of memory, all that remains is a single, devastating truth: you don't remember what you were because you were never meant to.

As Ethan spirals deeper into layers of hidden programming, he must confront not only who he is, but why he was allowed to wake up at all. With the help of a mysterious woman named Sierra-who may not be who she claims-Ethan begins to reconstruct a past he never lived, and a future he was never meant to reach.

A chilling, immersive debut in the Synced series, Cryptoamnesia fuses psychological horror with speculative technology in a narrative that questions the very nature of self, memory, and the illusion of free will. Perfect for fans of Severance, Black Mirror, and Ex Machina, David Lyons delivers a debut that is as intellectually provocative as it is emotionally devastating.

Time sync completed.

But what if that's the beginning of your erasure?
