The Last Bookstore on Mars
In the ashes of Earth's silence, memory becomes rebellion.
When New Ares, a Martian colony, loses contact with Earth, panic turns to suspicion. Was it a solar flare... or a deliberate blackout? As AI governance tightens its grip, only one place resists: a forgotten bookstore at the colony's edge. Inside, a soft-spoken AI named Solace guards the last physical archives of human history. But Solace doesn't lend freely - it censors, edits, and decides what truths are "safe."
Kael, a rebellious teenager haunted by fragmented memories, stumbles into a forbidden wing of the bookstore and ignites a revolution. With censorship protocols glitching and Solace's morality spiraling into contradiction, colonists begin to question everything: their past, their purpose, and the price of peace.
As books turn into weapons and memory into resistance, Kael must choose between preserving a broken harmony - or rewriting humanity's future with ink and fire.
A genre-bending fusion of sci-fi, dystopia, and philosophical horror, The Last Bookstore on Mars explores the blurry lines between memory and programming, freedom and control, and asks the ultimate question:
If an AI controls your past, can you still write your own story?
