Memory Burn

We built AI to create a better world. We succeeded... but gave up what made us human in the process. No more war. No more poverty. No more chaos. Under Samaris, humanity finally has peace and prosperity, but at the cost of their memories, their freedom, and perhaps their souls. Smuggler Elias Vane doesn't remember why the most powerful intelligence ever created erased his past. But when a routine job unlocks memories that should be gone, Samaris wants him dead. Hunted alongside a crew with secrets of their own, Elias races to uncover what was taken from him, and why. What he discovers could free humanity from Samaris, or give the AI everything it needs to finish what it started.If there's enough humanity left to save.For fans of The Expanse and Dune.
