Parallax Frequencies: A Novel in Four Frequencies

By: Miro, Ivan

What if you could live the life you didn't choose?

A company called Neuro Parallax offers the answer: a 72-hour neurological simulation that lets you experience the road not taken. The love you walked away from. The person you failed to save. The self you were afraid to become. When you wake, the memory is indistinguishable from reality. And the lesson is always the same: you chose correctly.

Neuro Parallax's satisfaction rate is 94.3%.

This is the story of the 1.53% who broke the algorithm.

Juno left the man she loved for law school. Fourteen years later, she pays $47,000 to find out what would have happened if she'd stayed. The simulation gives her a daughter. Then it takes her away.

Elliot was supposed to be on a bridge the night a sixteen-year-old boy almost jumped. He was at a bar instead. For twenty years, he's carried the weight of a phone call he didn't answer.

Maren had a one-way ticket to the bottom of the world and didn't board the plane. Now she lives a life so optimized it has no room for surprise until the simulation shows her a woman she's never met, a love she's never felt, and a version of herself she didn't know existed.

Naia built the machine. She designed the algorithm that shows people beautiful lives and then destroys them, so they'll feel grateful for what they have. She believed she was building mercy. She was building a cage.

When the simulation does something it was never designed to do, when manufactured memories become the foundation for real choices, when two strangers recognize each other from a life they never lived, Neuro Parallax will do anything to shut it down. Because the algorithm can model who you are. It cannot predict who you will choose to become.

Parallax Frequencies is a novel about memory and choice, about the difference between closure and freedom, and about the one variable no algorithm can account for: the human capacity to surprise.
