Beyond the Algorithm

The city of Neo-Terra throbs with perfection: surgical robots save lives with sub-millimetre precision, and relationships are scheduled to the last heartbeat. Yet beneath the gleaming façades hides a buried experiment-Soulcode-an algorithm that matches souls, not profiles. When surgeon Marcus Hale stumbles across a hidden roster, he finds his own name linked to Lyra Dene, a woman already living in the shadows. Together they must outrun a regime where love is a tool of control and truth is more lethal than any forbidden zone. Their choice: surrender to the State's manufactured harmony... or risk everything for a feeling that cannot be contained.
