Synopsis

By 3038, memories, emotions, and consciousness aren’t personal - they're tradeable digitized commodities. Dive into a world where NeuraTech reigns supreme, having pioneered the method to extract and digitize human consciousness. This digital gold leads to a new market dynamic, bringing with it power, intrigue, and a storm of ethical dilemmas.

Rina Meldor, a driven NeuraTech executive, isn't just looking for profit; she's on a frantic quest for total domination of the digitized consciousness commodity market. Orin Vale, on the other hand, pushes boundaries by merging consciousnesses, hoping to revive a figure from yesteryears. Between them lies the behemoth, the Genesis Protocol, an entity that dictates the flow and value of consciousness, its intentions as mysterious as the digital depths it controls.

Jorin Kest emerges as an influential trader, known for his cunning tactics and vast network. He specializes in procuring rare consciousnesses and often finds himself in the thick of market intrigues. Meanwhile, brokers, black markets dealing in unauthorized memories, and consciousness influencers like Faye Lorrin, whose experiences fetch high prices, all play pivotal roles in this digital economy. Elian Graves, an archive explorer, navigates this vast digital ocean, and amidst the chaos, he finds a connection with Faye, reminding them of the human touch in a world dominated by digital trade.

But where there's value, there's deceit. Nolan Kendric, once a guardian of NeuraTech's secrets, finds himself in a maze of espionage, where allegiances shift faster than data transfers.

Supervised by the Council of Ethical Oversight, this tale unravels the complexities of commodifying the soul. At its core, it challenges the concept of identity, questioning what remains when our very essence becomes a tradable asset.

Journey into a future where the lines between self and commodity blur, where memories have a price, and where the echoes of traded minds resonate with love, loss, and the undying quest for power.
