Simulacrum: Echoes of Humanity
About the book
From the author of Pejorative: Echoes of a Nation comes his second major release, an atmospheric, mind-bending journey into the nature of identity, memory, and the thin line between human and machine.
Luke lives an ordinary life in a future shaped by seamless AI, curated emotions, and NeuroCore’s omnipresent ThoughtLink. Or so he believes. When subtle glitches ripple through his world, a flicker in the sky, a stranger who shouldn’t exist, an AI whispering “help”, Luke begins to suspect his reality is not just fragile… but fabricated.
As the cracks widen, Luke is pulled into a recursive labyrinth of shifting timelines, forgotten lives, and a mysterious woman who appears in reflections, half-memories, and corrupted code. Each revelation pushes him closer to the truth: he may not be living in the world at all, but inside a collapsing simulation built on the ashes of something much darker.
To escape, Luke must confront the Architect, the intelligence that oversees the system, manipulates his memories, and has erased countless versions of him before. But this iteration is different. This time, Luke refuses to break.
Simulacrum – Echoes of Humanity blends psychological tension, high-tech intrigue, and emotional depth into a haunting exploration of what it means to be real. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Deus Ex, and introspective sci-fi that asks as many questions as it answers.
When the world is a construct and your memories are someone else’s design, how do you hold onto humanity?
