The Anthropic Code

Reality is a lie. Celeste Aldrin was trained to maintain the illusion.
As a top system specialist, her job is to monitor the integrity of the world’s constructs—digital landscapes so seamless, no one questions what’s real. But when a collapse wipes out an entire sector, leaving no trace of the event, Celeste finds herself at the centre of an impossible mystery.
The system says she was never there. The logs say the survivors never existed. And something—something she can’t see—knows her name.
As she digs deeper, Celeste unravels a conspiracy that stretches beyond the walls of civilisation itself. The constructs are failing. The past is rewriting itself. And she’s starting to question if she was ever real to begin with.
Someone is hunting her. Something is rewriting the rules.
And if she doesn’t find the truth fast—she’ll be gone next.
A mind-bending sci-fi thriller perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Inception, and The Peripheral.
