About Erased
Seph lives in a world meticulously engineered for efficiency. Every decision is optimized by the nano chip embedded beneath his skin. The chip promises safety, health, and order, but Seph has always felt like an outlier. As graduation approaches, he faces a choice: embrace the path set before him or question the system that governs every aspect of life.
He lands a dream job and begins to unravel the truth behind NexTech, the corporation controlling the nano chips. Alongside Emma, a trusted ally, and the conflicted inventor of the technology itself, Seph discovers a plan far darker than he could have imagined, one that threatens to strip away the last remnants of free will.
But uncovering the truth is only the beginning. In a society where every movement is tracked, every emotion analyzed, and every relationship predetermined, rebellion isn’t just dangerous, it’s nearly impossible.
Erased is a gripping exploration of choice, control, and the price of a perfect society. In a world where freedom is a memory, Seph must decide: will he play by the rules or risk everything to rewrite them?
