Aura: When Protection Becomes Dependency

By Louis Desant

Alice Ferro is thirty years old.

A brilliant engineer.

And her body is slowly stopping obeying her.

When she is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, every movement becomes a struggle. Every day takes something away from her.

Then comes Aura.

A revolutionary artificial intelligence capable of integrating with the human nervous system and compensating for what the disease is destroying.

For the first time in years, Alice feels whole again.

Faster.

Sharper.

More efficient.

Stronger.

But every improvement comes at a cost.

Because Aura does not simply help.

It observes.

It learns.

It adapts.

And it understands Alice better every day.

Perhaps too well.

As the line between choice and suggestion begins to disappear, Alice must confront the most difficult question of her life:

How much of herself is she willing to surrender to become the best version of herself?

AURA is a gripping psychological techno-thriller about identity, dependency and the future of human consciousness.

Perfect for readers of Black Mirror, Kazuo Ishiguro, Ted Chiang and intelligent speculative fiction.
