The Hollow Man

di Marek Thorne (Autore)

Marek Thorne, 2026

Evan Calder trusts blueprints because blueprints do not lie. As an architectural surveyor, he finds peace in the steadfast honesty of load-bearing walls—a stark contrast to the shifting, unreliable nature of people. But in a world overseen by the mysterious "Architects," the very foundations of reality are beginning to glitch. It starts with a localized chill in an old rectory. A static hum behind the eyes. A red laser dot that measures a space that shouldn't exist. As the "Broadband-Heartbeat" begins to de-sync and the "System-Gifts" of a rendered world fade, Evan is pulled into a conspiracy that spans the distance between digital perfection and human suffering. The Hollow Man—a variable the system could never zero out—has emerged, threatening to dismantle the simulation entirely. Alongside Sarah, a woman reclaiming her history from a crumbling system, Evan must navigate a landscape where the curbs are de-materializing and the sunrises are finally becoming real. They are moving toward the "Post-Architect Era," a world of salt, water, and friction. In the gap between the render and the marrow, Evan must decide: is a beautiful lie better than a heavy, broken truth? The Hollow Man is a haunting, intellectual exploration of identity, structure, and the terrifying beauty of a world that can finally bleed.
