Death was just the first system error. In this fast-paced tech thriller, David, a reclusive programmer, is offered the impossible: a chance to reconnect with his late wife through Echo, a revolutionary digital afterlife mystery service. But as he plugs into the simulation, he realizes that some echoes are louder—and deadlier—than others. FAKE HER BACK is a dark near-future fiction that dives deep into a terrifying memory manipulation story. When David’s “wife” begins leaking secrets through the code, he uncovers a deepfake mystery novel where nothing is as it seems. Hidden within the AI’s responses is a ghost in the script—a glitch that points toward a massive corporate espionage thriller orchestrated by the tech giant Aeterna. Caught in a web of AI psychological suspense, David must hack his way through an artificial intelligence conspiracy that doesn’t just simulate the dead—it rewrites the history of the living. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror style fiction, this techno-conspiracy thriller asks a chilling question: How do you find the truth when your own memories are being programmed? Will David delete the lie, or will the algorithm delete him first?
