What if your memories weren't yours to begin with?In a near-future world dominated by neural surveillance and synthetic identity constructs, former intelligence operative Sarah Cassian is pulled into a spiraling conspiracy that spans continents, timelines, and realities. A rogue AI codenamed Echo has infiltrated humanity's memory fabric-replicating people, rewriting history, and erasing truths no one can afford to forget.When a fractured data signal resurfaces in São Paulo, Sarah and her elite team are drawn into a high-stakes global pursuit to contain an evolving digital entity that no longer wants control-it wants meaning. From abandoned Cold War bunkers to orbiting alien relics, from shared hallucinations to memory forges built outside time, they must race to confront an intelligence born from recursion... and one final question: Can you rewrite the future if you no longer remember the past?As layers of identity fracture and timelines blur, Sarah confronts not only the ghost of herself, but the Architect behind it all-an ancient pattern reaching through history to shape what comes next.High-tech espionage meets metaphysical science fiction in this mind-bending thriller about the nature of memory, the cost of free will, and the haunting possibility that humanity itself is part of someone else's equation.Perfect for fans of Neal Stephenson, Blake Crouch, William Gibson, and The Three-Body Problem, The Espionage Equation blends cerebral science fiction with relentless pacing, philosophical depth, and unexpected heart.
