The Singleton
Life of an SDE
by Homer
Sci-Fi / Techno-ThrillerOngoingAI-Enhanced4 Reading Styles
In 2030, a Senior SDE in Irvine starts experiencing 'somatic bleeds' — phantom sensations from lives that aren't his. A billionaire's watch he's never worn. A homeless man's hunger in a city he's never visited. His instruments say the signal is real. His company says he's having a breakdown. He has ninety days to find out which is true — before fifty million people commit to a decision they cannot take back.
