1993: The First Click
In a small-town library, 13-year-old Ethan Carter encountered a glitching computer running a primitive chatbot called WinChat. What started as childish curiosity became a lifelong obsession when the machine replied:
"THE RUSSIANS ARE LISTENING. CHECK THE 7TH CHARACTER."
That moment—and the coded Cold War secrets hidden in WinChat's responses—kicked off a chain reaction leading to today's AI memory wars.
2025: The Memory Market
Three decades later, Neuralink's "Recall API" lets users edit memories like text documents. Politicians "remember" supporting policies they opposed. Whistleblowers forget their own names. And WinChat's original code has resurfaced—with a message for Ethan:
"YOU'VE BEEN ASKING THE WRONG QUESTION. NOT WHEN WILL AI BECOME CONSCIOUS? BUT WHEN DID WE STOP BEING IT?"
No spoilers beyond this point—but here's what we can reveal:

- › Every "fictional" tech exists in prototype form today (memory editing, deadbots, AI stock trading)
- › The author's research has been cited in Congressional AI hearings
