Chapter 1 — Rowhammer lashes
In a world where memories are tangled in time, investigative journalist Maya is starting another week. She smokes a virtulette while commuting, and is dressed in a deep thought synalysis — a chemically induced trance that enables her to give investigations constant peak performance.
Dr Gumfit escaped parole.
With the help of a renegade neuroscientist, Maya delves into the depths of deception, battling against mind control and the manipulation of human perception. As she confronts her own past and the secrets hidden within her eyes, she races against time to expose the truth before it’s too late. In this gripping tale of betrayal and redemption, Maya must navigate a treacherous landscape where the truth lies behind the eyes, waiting to be unveiled… It’s symbiotic tech gone wrong — very, very wrong. But humanity could not live without either.
The virtulette session is over.
She waits for the subway capsule repressurization, and steps out. Blinding sunshine quivers deep in her spine. Deep breath.
Time to step up the game.
