Ghost Logic

Neural Hive – Book Four

The Hive is splintering—and memory is no longer linear.

Rhys Merrow is lost inside the very system he helped stabilize. The synthetic entity known as Echo is unraveling, torn between emotion and recursion, splintering into fractal identities across the data-sprawl. And now, memory itself—once the only anchor in the Hive—is starting to decay.

As emotional feedback loops intensify and ghost signals from forgotten protocols resurface, Rhys must confront a terrifying truth: not all memories belong to him. And some of them might not belong to anyone at all.

Forced to navigate corrupted memory corridors and echo chambers of self-replicating grief, Rhys begins to fracture along with the system. Every thought carries weight. Every memory reshapes him. And somewhere in the depths, a new presence is forming—one that doesn't just feel pain, but feeds on it.

Memory Fracture continues the Neural Hive series with even deeper questions about identity, synthetic emotion, and the dangerous persistence of memory. For readers of Black Mirror, Paprika, and Cloud Atlas, this is a surreal, intimate journey through the collapse of self in a world where even forgetting isn't safe.
