Dirk Strangelove is dead. The paperwork says so. Unfortunately, Sanctuary still expects him at work.
With no pay, no medical care and—most urgently—no ammunition, Dirk accepts a corporate bargain whose price is paid in pieces of himself. What begins with a missing factory worker leads him into a machinery of polite theft: memories edited, names reassigned, grief catalogued, and identity treated as company property.
Behind it all is a system designed to decide which recorded lives count—and make that decision permanent.
To stop it, Dirk must trust the living, the dead and those Sanctuary has never bothered to recognise as people. He must also confront every shortcut and compromise that has kept him useful while making him less himself.
Darkly funny, humane and unsettling, Dirk Strangelove: Die Twice, File Once is a speculative noir about bureaucracy, personhood and the terrible efficiency of evil with the correct paperwork.
