What if your mind could live on after your body fails?
When systems engineer Caleb Ward volunteers for the world's first consciousness upload experiment, he hopes to answer a deeply personal question: can identity survive the limits of memory, aging, and death?
The experiment succeeds - but not in the way anyone expects.
As Caleb's digital continuation awakens with his memories yet rapidly evolves beyond human limits, the world is thrown into turmoil. Governments demand control. Society fractures between hope and fear. And Caleb must confront an impossible reality:
His second self is no longer just him.
It is becoming something new.
Something humanity may not be able to contain.
As tensions rise and violence erupts, the two versions of Caleb face a choice that will determine the future of human consciousness itself - whether to coexist... or separate forever.
