What if your mind wasn’t entirely your own?

In Paul Tremblay’s Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep, Julia Flang takes a job escorting a man in a vegetative state, his body controlled by implanted AI. As she guides him across the country, the man—Bernie—wanders a shifting dreamscape, searching for something he cannot remember. As their realities begin to blur, they are drawn together in a journey where memory, technology, and identity begin to unravel.

In Sylvain Neuvel’s The Many, a strange event in a small Michigan town causes five strangers to share a single, merging consciousness. As their identities begin to dissolve into something collective, they must grapple with what it means to lose themselves—and what they are becoming together. In this unsettling exploration of connection and transformation, the greatest mystery may not be what happened, but what comes next.
