If every memory you had was a lie, how would you know what was real?When Alex Woods wakes in a white hospital room, her last memory is of sunlight and laughter at her family's farmhouse. Across the country, Jamie Dickson wakes to something else entirely-blood, loss, and the echo of his mother's dying words: Forget this.Both strangers, both volunteers for an experimental PTSD study, they soon learn the truth: the experiment never ended. Their minds are trapped inside Operation Crypto, a self-sustaining system built to merge human consciousness with machine intelligence. But as their realities fracture-shifting between perfect memories and decaying code-Alex and Jamie must face the one question the system won't let them forget: If memory can dream... what dreams of us?A dark, cerebral thriller about trauma, technology, and the fragile boundary between mind and machine. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Annihilation, and Blake Crouch's Recursion.
