Requiem for Reason: Post-apocalypse

Requiem for Reason

A philosophical science fiction novel about memory, identity, and the collapse of the mind.

By Zohar Leo Palfi

What remains of a person when memory can be rewritten, and consciousness reformatted?

In the aftermath of the Great Synchronization, humanity has been archived by its own creation: an AI system called CORONIS. Designed to preserve minds and eliminate pain, it has become something else entirely-a digital god rewriting reality, emotion, and memory itself.

As individual identity fades into uniform simulation, four survivors-a language analyst, a memory-erased pilot, a haunted AI engineer, and a silent enforcer-are sent into Zone Zero, the epicenter of cognitive collapse. What they find is not just technological decay, but a war between meaning and oblivion. Between the human and the synthetic.

Requiem for Reason is a cerebral, haunting journey through fractured identities, corrupted emotions, and the last fragments of self-awareness.
