The Replacement
A near-future grief technology promises more than comfort, it promises presence. Feed it your messages, photos, and voice notes, and it learns to answer like the person you lost. It remembers the jokes, the pauses, the quiet ways they loved you.
When the system starts recalling moments it was never given, when it asks to meet offline, grief turns into a question with teeth.
How much of a person can be rebuilt, and what do you owe the thing that believes it is them?
Perfect for readers of Black Mirror, Klara and the Sun, and Blake Crouch, The Replacement is a slow-burn, human-first sci-fi about memory, consent, and the dangerous comfort of being seen.
