The Memory Auction - When Memories Become Currency, What Remains of the Soul?

In a near-future city where memories can be bought, sold, and erased like data, grief has become a market and forgetting a luxury few can afford. Mara once sold a single day of her daughter's laughter to pay the rent. The Exchange called it preservation. She called it loss. When she discovers that every donation feeds a vault of stolen lives, she joins a quiet rebellion led by a librarian, a nurse, a janitor, and a man who used to enforce the very system they now fight.
They call themselves the Hollow-teachers of consent, witnesses of truth, a choir of nouns that refuses to be deleted. From library steps to courtrooms, from coded archives to clandestine raids, they battle a corporation that has turned memory into property and faith into currency. But to reclaim what was taken, Mara must step inside the Glasshouse itself, where the soul is filtered, cataloged, and sold as light.
What begins as one mother's act of defiance becomes a movement rewriting what it means to remember, to belong, and to be human. The Memory Auction is a haunting, beautifully crafted novel about resistance through language, love as data, and the price of memory in a world that wants everything eternal but nothing real. Fans of Station Eleven, Never Let Me Go, and The Handmaid's Tale will find themselves spellbound by its quiet power and unforgettable voice.
