Volatile Memory

Description

In a post-human frontier where survival depends on speed, Wylla hunts for a payday—only to discover that the “tech” she’s chasing is bound to a living consciousness trapped inside an AI mask. When she touches it, the voice inside awakens, and the two form an uneasy, intimate alliance: one body in motion, one mind crystallized in metal, both forced to confront what it means to be real, remembered, and wanted. As Wylla and her newly awakened partner race other hunters and navigate military-grade secrets, their search for answers leads back to the man who discarded the AI once before—Wylla’s ex-husband. Blending sapphic sci-fi action with tender, identity-driven emotion, this debut from Seth Haddon delivers a high-stakes, character-forward adventure that explores memory, personhood, and the fragile bonds that can outlast even the systems built to erase them.
