The Carbon Copy

A brilliant coder at a mid-sized tech firm uncovers a mysterious project that copies not code, but memories. When a shy coworker vanishes without a trace, the protagonist begins to suspect a hidden experiment that blurs the line between self and copy. Desperation drives him to trace encrypted logs across a murky corporate network, where every breakthrough uncovers another ethical quagmire: who deserves to own a person’s past, and who has the right to rewrite it? As loyalties fracture and the past starts to echo in the present, the pursuit forces him to confront what it truly means to be human in a world of replicas.
