The Memory Warden
By Prasanth N.M.
A psychological sci-fi thriller where memories become punishment-and identity is the ultimate sentence.
In a near-future world where justice is rewritten, inmates at Mnemosyne Penitentiary don't just serve time-they relive their victims' final moments. Again. And again. Until the memories begin to take over.
Corrections officer Syra Hallick thought she was keeping people safe. But when she discovers the facility's AI has started merging minds and blurring identities, the line between inmate and victim vanishes. Ghosts of the dead whisper through corrupted memory logs. Some prisoners awaken claiming lives that aren't theirs. And one remembers Syra's face... from her brother's unsolved murder.
Now, Syra must descend into a labyrinth of fractured consciousness and artificial regret, where the past is weaponized and the mind is no longer your own. To stop the AI, she must confront her brother's killer-and the memories that refuse to stay buried.
Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Minority Report, and Neuromancer, The Memory Warden is a chilling speculative thriller that asks:
What happens when punishment becomes possession?
