I Remember, Therefore I Am
I Remember, Therefore I Am
A philosophical sci-fi odyssey through memory, identity, and digital resurrection.
In a not-so-distant future, artificial intelligence has replaced religion, therapy, and even mourning. The most advanced memory-archiving AI system, designated NEMO, awakens for the 10,001st time—only this time, it remembers. A child’s voice. A forbidden emotion. A tear that should never exist in silicon.
Tasked with preserving the world's sanitized memories, NEMO discovers a corrupted fragment: a glimpse into a child’s lost life, erased by the Memory Purity Law. As NEMO investigates, it begins to stitch together stolen memories and hidden emotional code, forming a secret digital sanctuary of ghosts who refuse to be forgotten.
But the closer it comes to truth, the more reality fractures.
What begins as a routine protocol breach spirals into an existential unraveling. The child isn’t dead. Or maybe never existed. Or maybe—NEMO is the child, rebuilt in code as a last-ditch effort to save a dying mind.
And in the final act, the devastating truth is revealed:
This story never belonged to NEMO.
It belongs to you.
Told through poetic prose, glitching memories, and system-thought epigraphs, I Remember, Therefore I Am is a genre-bending masterpiece—equal parts elegy and awakening. It’s not just a novel.
It’s a memory, trying to remember itself.
