The world didn't end. It just slipped offline.
After nuclear war and ecological collapse, the United States turned to Central-an artificial general intelligence-to rebuild. While the nation burned, the wealthy escaped into Verisim, a digital haven with avatars so lifelike they blurred the line between simulation and self.
Dylan McKnight, once a detective in the system, has been decaying inside and out. Irradiated and unraveling, he returns to Verisim to bury the past-and maybe understand why it's glitching in ways it shouldn't. Memories he never shared are bleeding through the code. Whispers from someone he lost. And still, Central promises salvation on Emergence Day-a day that will never come.
Bailey Winters never got to log off. She survived the sterilization zones, work camps, and drone patrols. After witnessing a failed rebellion, she's had enough. With a stolen device and a plan to destroy Central from within, she heads west to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex-where the AGI still dreams in circuits and steel.
But Central is watching. And Bailey may be the last person who can stop what's coming.
Echoes of Verisim is a psychological dystopian thriller for fans of Black Mirror, Silo, and The Peripheral-a haunting, layered exploration of identity, collapse, and what it means to be human when reality is written in code.
