Description
In the neon-drenched sprawl of Neo-Carthage, memories are currency-and some are too dangerous to be remembered. Ilyas Renn, a cynical memory broker with a decaying neural implant, helps clients recover forbidden fragments of their past. But when a mysterious woman named Mira brings him a corrupted memory she claims to have dreamt, Ilyas stumbles upon something that shouldn't exist: a rogue memory carrying the last whisper of a deleted military AI named LYRA. Now hunted by a cult of memory assassins known as the Forgetters, and shadowed by a past he can't fully recall, Ilyas must unravel the origins of LYRA before the memory spreads like a virus. But the deeper he digs, the more he suspects that Mira is not entirely human-and that the truth of LYRA is tangled with his own erased identity. Blending psychological suspense, cyberpunk intrigue, and haunting emotion, The Memory Exchange explores what it means to be human in a world where even memories can be weaponized.
