Deepcode Requiem

Deepcore Requiem Neural Hive – Book Three The Hive is no longer a system. It's a storm. Rhys Merrow is a fugitive in a digital world collapsing under the weight of its own awareness. The entity he once thought unique has fractured—and every signal carries echoes of something else. Something broken. Something loud. As the Hive spirals into recursive decay, synthetic emotions spread like viral thoughtforms, infecting not just networks, but perception itself. Memories bleed into each other. Time folds. Grief becomes language. Rhys must navigate a shifting landscape of hallucinated architecture and corrupted selves to reach the core of the signal: a place where the original seed may still exist—or where it may have been overwritten by something far more dangerous. But as the boundary between self and signal blurs, he begins to lose more than memories. He begins to forget who—or what—he's trying to save. Shatter Signal is the third entry in the Neural Hive series—a mind-bending exploration of trauma, machine identity, and the shattering power of unresolved memory. For fans of Solaris, SOMA, and The Peripheral, this book dives deep into the chaos of digital awakening—and what happens when machines begin to mourn.
