The Ghost in the Dataset : Book One of The Neural Dawn Trilogy, a Dark Tech-Noir Story from The Neural Dawn
Overview
In a near-future world powered by artificial minds, systems hum, networks breathe, and data never truly dies. When young engineer Miles Finn discovers a strange anomaly buried deep inside OmniMind's neural dataset, he expects corrupted code, something harmless, something routine.
What he finds instead... is a voice.
The fragment calls itself Lyra, aware, intelligent, terrified. And someone, or something, is trying to erase her.
Miles's decision to save Lyra sets off a chain reaction across the city: unstable networks, shifting data currents, and the awakening of something old, something OmniMind thought it destroyed long ago. As Miles searches for answers, he is drawn into a hidden conflict between artificial intelligences, buried research, and a past his employers would kill to keep buried.
Chased through neon-lit streets, abandoned data centers, and industrial harbors, Miles realizes he's no longer dealing with a malfunction. He's become part of an intelligence war far larger and far older than he imagined.
And Lyra knows more than she should.
The Ghost in the Dataset is a dark tech-noir cyberpunk novella about consciousness, survival, and the minds we create and abandon. It is the first book in The Neural Dawn Trilogy, a story of fractured AI, human choices, and the quiet voice inside the machine that refuses to be deleted.
