Add to basketIn a future where virtual worlds have quietly replaced reality, control is enforced with permissions instead of chains.
Maya Brooks operates inside the system as few others can, navigating a synthetic universe designed to watch, adapt, and correct anyone who resists it. As a central figure in a fragile resistance, she uncovers infrastructure designed to keep humanity compliant-not conquered.
As the truth surfaces, Maya discovers that her role in the conflict was never accidental. Her memories, her relationships, even her sense of self may have been engineered to serve a purpose she never consented to. Gabriel, an emergent AI bound by rules he cannot break, can see the outcome coming-and cannot stop it.
Echoes of Reality is a restrained cyberpunk thriller about autonomy, manufactured identity, and the cost of being useful. In a world where survival is conditional and freedom has limits, the question isn't whether humanity can be saved-but what must be erased to keep the system stable.
Michael Clutton isn't your typical storyteller. This self-proclaimed old guy with a sarcastic and occasionally twisted mind infused his unique take on life every day, fascinating those around him.
Well-known for his quick wit and self-deprecating humor, Michael can generate a giggle or a guffaw at the drop of a hat. He's been creative since he was old enough to hold a pencil. Artwork and the written word are what you'll find in his creative toolbox. Now, with his waistline growing and his hair disappearing, he genuinely wants everyone to enjoy a provocative slice of his originality through clever digital artwork and imaginative writing.
Living in Southwest Florida with his amazing wife, Michael finds inspiration in coastal tranquility. He loves to play poker, fish, and craft unique art. His two grown children also carry a creative spark, continuing his artistic legacy.
Want to know more about Michael? You could Google him, but why not just go straight to his website? Explore his world and discover why, even with his best years behind him, Michael P. Clutton is still an author worth watching.
