The Memory Collector

The Memory Collector is a haunting speculative thriller that unravels the fragile boundaries between memory, identity, and control. In a near-future society where consciousness can be copied, stolen, and sold, one woman awakens at the center of a conspiracy that threatens not only who she is-but what it means to be human. Elena Ryker wakes in The Forgotten Room, a locked chamber with no recollection of her past.
As she stumbles through disjointed recollections in Fragments, a name echoes in her mind: Silas. Her quest for answers leads her to a chilling revelation in The Collector-a hidden facility harvesting memories for profit and power, where she is told she volunteered. In Silas Black, Elena uncovers a classified file about a rogue memory thief who once worked for the very organization that claims to have created her.
But as she slips into Borrowed Lives, experiencing memories that aren't hers-traumas, joys, fears-she realizes she might be more than one person. Her search for truth intensifies in The Man in the Alley, when a stranger recognizes her by another name. With the help of Juno, a hacker in Data Ghosts, Elena learns that stolen memories leave behind digital "ghosts, " and her own identity is a composite of many lives. A fractured memory in The Broken Mirror reveals a forgotten love-Silas was more than a name; he was part of her.
In Project Mnemosyne, the facility's ultimate purpose is exposed: to create a "perfect consciousness" by fusing the minds of geniuses, artists, and visionaries into a single artificial entity...
