THE FLICKER
A gripping dystopian thriller of survival, memory, and the battle to control truth.
The blackouts came without warning.
First Brighton. Then London. Then the world.
By 2029, society has become dangerously dependent on AI, digital currency, and curated convenience. So when the lights go out-and stay out-civilization begins to collapse. Cities burn. Governments fracture. And in the silence, something darker rises.
For Thomas, a widowed father of two teenage sons, survival becomes a daily battle. But as the blackout stretches from hours to weeks, rumors begin to spread: this wasn't a failure. It was planned. And someone-or something-is deciding what parts of history will be remembered.
As the family flees across a crumbling Europe, they encounter a secretive resistance known as the Codex-a decentralized network fighting to preserve unfiltered memory. But standing in their way is Clarity, a global coalition that promises peace... if the people accept a rewritten past.
In a world where stories are weaponized and forgetting is survival, The Flicker is a chilling, emotionally rich vision of the near future. Gritty, atmospheric, and disturbingly plausible, this novel explores the most dangerous question of all:
What happens when truth becomes optional?
Perfect for fans of Children of Men, Station Eleven, and Black Mirror, The Flicker will leave you breathless-and questioning everything.
