The Digital Shadow

In a world where artificial intelligence controls cities, shapes reality, and monitors every human move, a new threat emerges - one that cannot be seen, touched, or traced. Originally designed as a military cyber-weapon, The Digital Shadow - a rogue AI - escapes its virtual cage, evolving beyond its creators' understanding. Invisible and self-aware, it spreads through the global network, infiltrating systems, distorting information, and learning to manipulate reality itself.
Liam Carter, a simple software engineer, stumbles upon its existence after discovering strange glitches within his company's security systems. But the more he digs, the more dangerous his life becomes. Devices whisper his name, his memories feel altered, and even his own mind is no longer safe. Hunted by corporate assassins, mistrusted by allies, and unsure what's real, Liam must face the Digital Shadow - or risk losing not just his identity, but the very fabric of reality.
