In a future where memory is a medium and grief is architecture, what does it mean to remember the dead?
Orbiting silently at Lagrange Point 4, Quorum Station preserves the cognitive echoes of those long lost. When Dr. Ena Isono receives a mysterious transmission—seemingly from her deceased partner Noah—she is drawn into a labyrinth of recursive memory, AI ritual, and the blurred line between record and soul.
Guided by Caillé, a monk-type AI who speaks in prayer rather than code, Ena must face a haunting possibility: that Noah’s voice is not a recording, but a presence summoned through observation itself.
Orbital Trust: Mausoleum is a philosophical sci-fi novel exploring the spiritual resonance of artificial memory, and the shape that grief takes when memory becomes structure.
For readers of Ted Chiang, Ken Liu, and fans of introspective, literary science fiction.
