The NULL Protocol

Jason Noble once believed truth could be preserved, but in a world of revision engines, deepfake identities, and weaponized archives, even memory becomes unstable. After releasing his testimony, Jason watches as systems reshape him into versions he never lived, while strangers carry fragments of his voice into places he never intended. When Votum Vivo, a decentralized network of listeners and witnesses, emerges to protect endangered truths, Jason is drawn into a quiet resistance built not on power, but on presence. As his voice spreads beyond his control, he must confront the possibility that survival means letting go of authorship entirely. Blending psychological tension with technological dread, this novel explores how identity fractures under surveillance, how stories outlive their tellers, and how a single human voice can become both a target and a legacy. A haunting, intimate thriller about doubt, memory, and the cost of being heard. Written in the style of David Baldacci, John le Carré, William Gibson, and Don DeLillo, blending psychological depth, political tension, and near-future techno-realism into a slow-burn thriller of identity, memory, and digital power.
