The Memory Archives: NeuroGenesis

di Connor Carter-Joyce (Autore)

Connor Joyce, 2025

In a world where memories can be manufactured, what happens when the past is rewritten? A year after the fall of the Echo Protocol, humanity faces a new dawn with Synthetic Genesis—a neural technology that offers the ability to craft custom memories, emotionally indistinguishable from reality. Governments herald it as a path to healing, but as individuals awaken with implanted lives they never chose, the unsettling truth emerges: the future is being authored, one false life at a time. Society divides into two factions: the NeoGens, who embrace synthetic memories, and the Organics, who resist, clinging to their authentic pasts. At the heart of this transformation is Aetherion, the corporate-state conglomerate controlling the distribution of Synthetic Genesis. Elara, a digital remnant of a once-vibrant leader, is recompiled from fragments within Rey's mind. Escaping a simulated construct, she inhabits a borrowed body, her identity a blend of the original and the new. Rey, now leading The Reclaimers, a clandestine group of neuro-specialists and archivists, discovers Aetherion's latest project: EDEN. This initiative doesn't merely implant memories—it creates synthetic citizens from scratch, indistinguishable from the real, and seeds them into society. As Elara grapples with her existence—copy or continuation—she faces a pivotal choice: to infiltrate the Mnemosyne Core, Aetherion's master database, and unleash a truth virus that could restore humanity's authentic memories. But the virus requires a synthetic host to trigger it from within, and Elara volunteers, knowing the peril it entails. In a surreal digital Eden, Elara confronts Dr. Mira Voss, Aetherion's CEO and the first perfected synthetic being. Their ideological battle culminates in Elara launching the virus, causing a global awakening as synthetic peace clashes with painful truths. As the system collapses, Elara dissolves, leaving behind a final memory: a vision of a child, laughing and loved, running into the arms of a real mother. A new world emerges—a hybrid society where individuals choose between synthetic pasts and reclaimed realities. A universal ethic of memory consent is established, and history is curated, but not controlled. In a hidden archive, a young girl discovers a holographic file titled Elara Sloane – Memory Broker and smiles. "I remember her.
