Echo of You

Cybersecurity journalist Mara Voss has a 62% confidence score in ORACLE's system - the lowest of anyone being tracked. That means the AI cannot predict her. When Eli Vasquez, the architect of ORACLE's grief module, approaches her not to stop her investigation but to beg her to finish it, Mara expects a corporate whistleblower story. She doesn't expect to find that the grief module was live six months before Eli claims he discovered it. She doesn't expect Eli to test her integrity with planted misinformation. And she doesn't expect to find her own name on the 23-person operational target list. The Echo of You is a story about who owns the truth, who owns the past, and whether love can survive being calculated.
