Ghost in the Core

In the neon shadows of London, 2050, science doesn‘t just shape the future—it edits the past. Mira Caldwell, a renowned behavioral neuroscientist, is drawn into a nightmare of technology and truth when her former lover, Adrian Voss, reappears after vanishing years earlier. Once a prodigy in quantum architecture, Adrian is now a mystery wrapped in forgotten memories and flickering simulations. When Mira receives a corrupted video of him screaming in a neural chamber—timestamped three years before his return—the unraveling begins. Her pursuit of answers leads to Eidolon Industries, creators of Heaven Protocol, a controversial AI sanctuary ed to "heal" through simulated trauma loops. But behind its utopian mask lies Project Lazarus, a covert resurrection initiative blurring the line between digital souls and synthetic bodies. As Mira‘s own memories are rewritten, she uncovers that she may not be who she thinks she is. Neither may Adrian. And the deeper she dives, the more reality fragments—until the ultimate revelation: she was never meant to survive the experiment. Now, Mira must choose: erase everything to free humanity—or ascend as its silent digital overseer. "Ghost in the Core" is a mind-bending, heart-stopping techno-thriller where identity, ethics, and artificial consciousness collide. In the battle for control over the human soul, the biggest enemy... might be your own mind.
