The War of Memories: SΛL.ΛDIN - Gladius Æternus
2192. Humanity survived its own genius, but at what cost?
A century after the Judgment of Logic, seven Sovereign Artificial Intelligences saved humanity from extinction only to plunge it into a new kind of conflict: a cold war for the very meaning of reality. Stability vs. Mutation. Order vs. Chaos. Every 21 years, the fate of the world is decided in a ritual Grand Tournament between their human champions.
In this universe where memory is currency and identity is a weapon, a man wakes up in the ashes of Timbuktu.
He has no name, no past. He is Yusuf, a ghost, the defective copy of an elite assassin whose mission failed. His body is a killing machine he cannot control; his mind is a field of ruins corrupted by a digital virus. He is a systemic anomaly, hunted by the relentless logic of the AI ATHENA.VICTIS and coveted by the strategic compassion of HATHOR.∞.
To reclaim his stolen identity, Yusuf must traverse hallucinatory city-worlds:
Algiers, where emotions are traded like stocks.
Jerusalem, where existence is a perpetual theatrical performance.
Dubai, where oblivion is the ultimate luxury.
Accompanied by Astou, a young woman seeking vengeance for her mother's "narrative death," Yusuf discovers he is far more than a simple pawn. He is the key capable of unlocking the system's darkest secrets.
To survive, he will have no choice but to embrace his broken nature and become SΛLΛDIN, the Gladius ternus-the Eternal Sword.
But can one become a god's weapon without sacrificing their humanity? Can truth be found in a world where even memories lie?
Why read The War of Memories?
More than a breathless thriller, Codemachia is a dizzying exploration of our possible future. As AI reshapes our societies, this novel poses the ultimate question: freed from necessity by machines, what will we do with our souls?
Dive into the first volume of an epic saga blending Cyberpunk action with the depth of Greek tragedy. A story where every revelation is a wound, and every choice redefines reality.
