What if the greatest teacher you ever had... was yourself?
Rafael Cortez is a disgraced Austin salesman with nothing left to lose. When he's offered access to a revolutionary consciousness projection technology, he's thrust into sessions with history's most formidable minds - Aristotle, Socrates, Machiavelli, Nietzsche, Epictetus, Sun Tzu - each one dismantling the assumptions he's built his life on.
But as the sessions deepen and the line between observer and participant begins to blur, Rafael discovers that the voice guiding him through these encounters is far more familiar than he expected. The answer waiting at the end isn't philosophical. It's personal - and it will change everything he thought he knew about who he is.
The Borrowed Weapons is a speculative literary novel about authorship and agency, about whether we write our own lives or merely inherit them. It is a story for readers who believe that the hardest person to confront is the one you've been avoiding in the mirror.
For readers of Matt Haig, David Mitchell, and Blake Crouch.
Book I of The Lost Frequency trilogy. (Available Now)
