Summary

In a world where memory can be mapped, digitized, and replicated, what does it mean to be human?
 
Amber Spinks was once a leading neuroscientist—a pioneer in the transfer of consciousness to synthetic substrates. Now, over a century later, she awakens in a body that is not her own, haunted by fractured memories and the echo of a daughter she couldn’t save.
 
Across the solar system, corporations battle for dominance, and the cryo-preserved bodies of long-forgotten children are currency in an arms race of artificial evolution. As Spectrum Corporation pushes forward with a secretive agenda to replace humanity with engineered perfection, Amber becomes a linchpin in a high-stakes conflict between memory, identity, and control.
 
Pursued by synthetic operatives and aided by outcasts and ex-Corpos, Amber must navigate a city built on deception and a future shaped by the ghosts of her past. But beneath the neon skies and steel towers, something deeper is stirring—an awakening that could either restore what was lost… or erase humanity forever.
 
Cyberpunk meets existential thriller in this gritty, immersive debut—perfect for fans of Neuromancer, Altered Carbon, and Blade Runner.
Available since: 05/13/2025.
Print length: 242 pages.

    This work is a unique rendering of the Bagavad Gita by a well known poet. It is faithful to the text and yet does not read like a translation.The Sanskrit original is written in the Anushtubh metre. It has been cast into flexible blank verse by Sir Arnold, changing into lyrical measures where the text itself similarly breaks. In his autobiography, Gandhi has called this work the book par excellence for the Knowledge of Truth and that it afforded him invaluable help in his moments of gloom. (Summary by Jothi)
