The Faces We Forgot

By Chandan Singh

We didn't catch a virus.

We forgot how to see each other.

Toronto, 2028. A silent epidemic sweeps across the world. People can still see-but they can no longer recognize the faces they love. A mother looks at her child and sees a stranger. A husband stares at his wife and feels nothing. Doctors name it Collective Facial Aphasia-a man-made condition born from years of screens, filters, and fractured attention. What began as convenience has become a quiet extinction of connection.

In the middle of this unraveling stands Dr. Noor Rahman, a neuroscientist who uncovers her late father's forgotten research-a radical 30-day protocol built not on machines, but on memory, discipline, and love. With society collapsing, Noor launches a bold plan to heal a broken world: a single synchronized blackout designed to make humanity look up and remember.

The Faces We Forgot is a haunting and poetic literary dystopia that asks piercing questions about memory, attention, technology, and love. What happens when we stop recognizing one another? Can attention itself become a cure? And when faces fade, can love survive?

For readers who love thought-provoking stories with cinematic depth, this novel is both a warning and a hope. A story that lingers-long after you turn the final page.
