Anomaly #001: The Sleep Recruits

By Eduardo Kwiatkowski

Closing your eyes isn't resting. It's clocking in.

By day, he is an anonymous office worker drifting through a grey existence. By night, he is a weapon.

Recruited without consent by an invisible System, he is thrust into hyper-realistic simulations of wars, accidents, and crises. In these scenarios, he has no memory and no fear-only a brutal efficiency to resolve the conflict and "close" the loop.

Until he finds a glitch.

Using a subtle technique-three pinpoints of light behind his eyelids-he manages to enter the simulation lucidly. For the first time, he can choose not to strike. He can change the outcome.

But the System is watching. As the Silent Witnesses-faceless entities that monitor the simulation's stability-close in, and the bleed-through between his waking life and his nightmares begins to destroy his reality, he must answer one question:

What happens when the employee decides to quit?

Perfect for fans of Severance, Inception, and Dark Matter. ANOMALY #001 is a chilling techno-thriller about the cost of consciousness in a system designed for obedience.
