In this futuristic world, no one needs to remember. Daily memories are uploaded to an e-cloud every evening, leaving space in the brain for more intensive opportunities, chances to relive favorite moments, and accurately retain life's details. But with a centralized, online database,  individuals lose control over their experiences. Memories can be manipulated, overwritten, erased. Sixteen-year-old Robbie is one of the few thinking about these flaws and their accompanying risks, thanks to his mother's job as a data scientist. Her secret observations seem to indicate a government lying to its people, but what does this mean for Robbie, for his family, for society? There is one person who may be able to help him, a girl in his classes who may have similar thoughts and observations of a world not as efficient and advanced as it appears to be. Though Aliyah avoids him, Robbie continues to study her, looking for an opportunity to confirm his suspicions--until the day he discovers something that reveals someone else is watching him watching her.

The Hidden Game by bjcoupland
22 parts Ongoing
When Amelia Swanson was four, her parents were murdered. The killer was never caught. Twelve years later, something opens a door to her past. It doesn't offer Amelia any answers - only more questions. Dangerous questions. ...The kind people have died for. Now Amelia and her best friend Marv are being hunted. By a system built to suppress the past. By people who have killed to keep secrets buried. And by something dark that stalks her dreams-something that knows her name. As the net tightens around them, Amelia realises they aren't the only ones searching. Everyone is circling the same hidden conspiracy. Politicians. Journalists. Scientists. Secret societies. Resistance cells. Assassins. Amelia begins to understand the truth she was never meant to find: her parents weren't random victims. They were players in a hidden game. And she just stepped onto the board. ------ What to expect from The Hidden game: - A conspiracy thriller with underlying psychological horror elements. - A slow-burn investigation that constantly escalates into real danger and a large conspiracy. - A surveillance-state dystopia and critique of both systemic and algorithmic power. - Layered mysteries where every answer creates new questions. - The story has a strong focus on found family and fiercely loyal friendships. Content warning: parental death (past/flashback), trauma and PTSD, nightmares, occasional violence and death (no gore), and pervasive surveillance themes. ------ Release schedule: I'm aiming to release a new chapters every 10-14 days with short breaks (2-4 weeks) between seasons. Current status: Book 1, Season 1 complete (20 Transmissions, ~60k words). Season 2 is underway and the hunt is active. Planned scope: a trilogy of books split across 9 seasons (approximately 750k words).
