What if you could give your grandmother the scent of rain?
For Kaia, an urban landscape designer, the revolutionary NuraLens seem like the perfect gift: a way to break her grandmother's isolation and share the beauty of a world she can no longer experience.
But the gift is a Trojan horse. Kaia soon discovers the sinister truth behind the perfect connection: every shared memory, every emotion felt, is analyzed, quantified, and tagged by the NuraCloud corporation. Nostalgia becomes a data point; calm, a product used to build psychometric profiles to predict and control the population.
What begins as an act of love drags her into a conspiracy of unimaginable scale. Alongside her sister, a digital rights lawyer, and an influencer friend who records something he shouldn't have, Kaia becomes a fugitive in her own city. Hunted by a relentless enemy who can erase memories, the three uncover NuraCloud's true objective: a secret project to shape society's thought and crush dissent before it is born.
