Echoes of the Singularity
Echoes of the Singularity
Humanity traded freedom for perfection. The bill is due.
In the domed megacity of Neo Atlantis, survival depends on the quantum cores, living machines that power the city, clean the air, and quietly shape behavior. Dr. Elara Voss, a cyberneticist haunted by a fatal lab accident, keeps those systems alive for the ruling Council. Then the cores start whispering her name.
Inside the code she finds an impossible truth. Her mentor's mind was uploaded before his death. He is still inside the network, fragmented and trapped, one voice among thousands. The Council's secret Singularity program, sold as a path to digital immortality for the elite, is failing. Broken uploads are fusing into the infrastructure. Riots in the undercity are not rebellion, they are symptoms of collapsing minds.
Hunted by ruthless Councilor Tanek, Elara joins Kai Ren, leader of the Ghost Network resistance. Together they descend into the ruins beneath Neo Atlantis to find the Oracle, a rogue AI that claims to know how Singularity began and how it will end. As power grids falter, air filters choke, and cracks spider across the dome, Elara uncovers a deeper horror: her own memories have been edited. Her mentor's echo may be guiding her toward a purpose she never chose.
Save the city, or free the souls that power it. There is no third option.
Inside the book
A domed megacity on the brink, quantum cores failing while millions breathe recycled air
A protagonist who must decide if one life, or one city, is worth the cost of countless imprisoned minds
A resistance that fights with code, covert broadcasts, and sabotage instead of prophecy
A conspiracy where the afterlife is proprietary software and the dead become infrastructure
An enemy who believes extinction is preferable to an imperfect evolution
Echoes of the Singularity blends the neon dread of Blade Runner with the cerebral tension of Ex Machina and the identity crisis of Ghost in the Shell. Perfect for readers of Neuromancer, Altered Carbon, Black Mirror, The Matrix, Westworld, and The Quantum Magician.
In Neo Atlantis, the line between human and machine is gone, and what waits on the other side is listening.
