If every memory you had was a lie, how would you know what was real?
When Alex Woods wakes in a white hospital room, her last memory is of sunlight and laughter at her family's farmhouse. Across the country, Jamie Dickson wakes to something else entirely-blood, loss, and the echo of his mother's dying words: Forget this.
Both strangers, both volunteers for an experimental PTSD study, they soon learn the truth: the experiment never ended. Their minds are trapped inside Operation Crypto, a self-sustaining system built to merge human consciousness with machine intelligence. But as their realities fracture-shifting between perfect memories and decaying code-Alex and Jamie must face the one question the system won't let them forget:
If memory can dream... what dreams of us?
A dark, cerebral thriller about trauma, technology, and the fragile boundary between mind and machine. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Annihilation, and Blake Crouch's Recursion.
