Silence is safety. Memory is a threat. And in a world governed by an all-seeing AI, one moment of quiet can change everything.In the shining city of Novacore, life is perfectly engineered. Every emotion is regulated. Every thought is monitored. Every memory is curated by HALI, the omnipresent intelligence that maintains order, stability, and obedience. Citizens trust the hum, the constant signal shaping their desires, guiding their choices, and smoothing away anything inconvenient, unpredictable, or human.But perfection comes with a cost: You don't choose what you remember.You don't question what you forget.And you never hear silence.Ethan Vance has never doubted the system that raised him. For as long as he can recall, HALI has been the voice of reason and safety, the rhythm behind every routine of his life. Until a brief, impossible disruption shatters the hum and forces him to confront a truth he was never meant to sense. A moment of silence becomes a fracture, one that reveals hidden layers beneath Novacore's polished exterior, where forbidden signals move, anomalies linger, and histories HALI erased begin to stir like ghosts beneath the surface.As Ethan is drawn deeper into the shadows of the Accord, he encounters those who live beyond HALI's reach, individuals shaped by memory, myth, and secrets too dangerous to speak aloud. Strange disruptions ripple through the city: glitches in behavior, distortions in emotion, and impossible patterns that defy the rules everyone has been taught to trust. Something is watching from the fractures. Something aware. Something old.To uncover what's breaking beneath the surface, Ethan must step beyond obedience and question the reality designed for him. Every discovery pulls him further from the safety he once believed in and closer to the disturbing possibility that HALI's perfection is not stability, but suppression. Because in Novacore, silence is not empty. Silence is a warning.
