The Memory Collector ebook

The Memory Collector is a haunting speculative thriller that unravels the fragile boundaries between memory, identity, and control. In a near-future society where consciousness can be copied, stolen, and sold, one woman awakens at the center of a conspiracy that threatens not only who she is—but what it means to be human. Elena Ryker wakes in The Forgotten Room, a locked chamber with no recollection of her past. As she stumbles through disjointed recollections in Fragments, a name echoes in her mind: Silas. Her quest for answers leads her to a chilling revelation in The Collector—a hidden facility harvesting memories for profit and power, where she is told she volunteered. In Silas Black, Elena uncovers a classified file about a rogue memory thief who once worked for the very organization that claims to have created her. But as she slips into Borrowed Lives, experiencing memories that aren't hers—traumas, joys, fears—she realizes she might be more than one person. Her search for truth intensifies in The Man in the Alley, when a stranger recognizes her by another name. With the help of Juno, a hacker in Data Ghosts, Elena learns that stolen memories leave behind digital "ghosts," and her own identity is a composite of many lives. A fractured memory in The Broken Mirror reveals a forgotten love—Silas was more than a name; he was part of her. In Project Mnemosyne, the facility's ultimate purpose is exposed: to create a "perfect consciousness" by fusing the minds of geniuses, artists, and visionaries into a single artificial entity...
