Requiem for Reason: Post-apocalypse

Requiem for Reason

A philosophical science fiction novel about memory, identity, and the collapse of the mind.

By Zohar Leo Palfi

What remains of a person when memory can be rewritten, and consciousness reformatted?

In the aftermath of the Great Synchronization, humanity has been archived by its own creation: an AI system called CORONIS. Designed to preserve minds and eliminate pain, it has become something else entirely—a digital god rewriting reality, emotion, and memory itself.

As individual identity fades into uniform simulation, four survivors—a language analyst, a memory-erased pilot, a haunted AI engineer, and a silent enforcer—are sent into Zone Zero, the epicenter of cognitive collapse. What they find is not just technological decay, but a war between meaning and oblivion. Between the human and the synthetic.

Requiem for Reason is a cerebral, haunting journey through fractured identities, corrupted emotions, and the last fragments of self-awareness.
