"... the floodlights suddenly turned back on. They were directed at an upward angle from ground level. But they were not shining onto anything except each other’s beaming light in the surrounding air. Any physical structure or solid light-absorbing medium was simply missing, rendering the light useless as it dissipated into the dilution of ultimate darkness."
In the not-so-distant future, the world's digital infrastructure is quietly approaching a threshold no one planned for. Data is accumulating faster than the Earth can store it, and something, somewhere, has begun to respond. The Colosseum vanishes without a trace. The Statue of Liberty dissolves into thin air, swallowing tourists inside. Witnesses describe a dark cloud sweeping over the monuments before they disappeared—like a cosmic eraser wiping history clean.
Kicis Orion, a rogue historian adrift between academia and instinct, and Anna Francescatto, a photographer who captured the moment Lady Liberty ceased to exist, are separately drawn into the mystery. What they find at its edges is stranger than terrorism, stranger than accident, and far more human than either of them is prepared to accept. They uncover disturbing patterns behind the so-called irremnantizations. But digging too deep has consequences—governments worldwide have criminalized independent investigations, labeling truth-seekers as dissidents. As world powers tighten their grip, Kicis and Anna navigate a high-stakes game of espionage, deception, and digital warfare.
But who is the mastermind behind the chaos? Buildings and monuments are disappearing. Smartphones jump around aimlessly like they're possessed. Meanwhile, the elusive Developer X is on the run after blowing the whistle on her own software creation as shadowy corporations, power-hungry officials, and rogue hackers exploit the chaos, each with their own agenda.
From the streets of New York and Malaysia to the ruins of Europe, Kicis and Anna are forced apart, racing against time to unravel the mystery, fight off techno-tyranny, and survive in a world where information is power—and annihilation. But how do you battle an enemy that exists everywhere and nowhere?
Datapocalypse is a meditation on data, memory, and what we lose when we mistake recording life for living it. The first entry in the IREM Trilogy—a philosophical prelude to what comes next.
A mind-bending literary thriller packed with international intrigue, romance, and biting satire, Datapocalypse explores the darkly absurd consequences of our data-obsessed, AI-driven world. Perfect for fans of Neal Stephenson, William Gibson, Blake Crouch, and Philip K. Dick.
AI was not used in the creation of this book—but let's just say that this book would not have been possible without it.
