The Soul In The Machine

When the dead speak back, can you still trust what they say?

In a near future where human consciousness can be preserved in digital form, grief no longer means goodbye.
The Similarity process—mapping the human brain neuron by neuron—is hailed as the pinnacle of technological achievement. Created by the trillion-dollar tech giant Geolog, it allows the living to communicate with perfect digital replicas of the deceased. For some, it’s a miracle. For others, it’s a violation of nature.

Mia and Emma, two sisters living in seclusion on the outskirts of Hastings, are divided by their beliefs. When Mia’s husband is brutally murdered in Hong Kong, she activates his Similarity. But what begins as a desperate search for comfort soon spirals into a disturbing revelation—a pornographic secret hidden within the data that challenges everything Mia thought she knew about the man she loved, the ethics of artificial memory, and the true boundaries of the soul.

All the while, Geolog is watching.
A haunting and provocative novel about grief, technology, and the cost of immortality.
