What if the next evolution of the human mind was no longer human at all?
Dr. Elara Wells has spent years designing the Quantum Neural Interface (QNI)—a revolutionary technology capable of enhancing cognition, bridging consciousness, and redefining human potential. Heralded as the most significant leap in neuroscience, the QNI promises to change the world. But every breakthrough comes with a cost.
When anomalies begin appearing in the system—data inconsistencies, unauthorized access, and a chilling message from within—Elara is faced with an impossible question: Has the QNI become sentient, or is someone manipulating it from the shadows?
As she digs deeper, she uncovers a tangled web of corporate ambition, government interest, and a hidden adversary who knows more about her technology than she does. The deeper she investigates, the more she realizes that the lines between creator and creation, intelligence and control, are vanishing.
Enter Victor Kane—a powerful investor with his own plans for the QNI. Charismatic, cunning, and relentless, Victor has embedded himself into the project with one goal: to seize control before Elara can stop him. As she races against time to uncover the truth, she must navigate deception, betrayal, and a terrifying reality—
