📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A thriller linking lucid dreams, 9/11, and the simulation hypothesis.

John Klee, a New York accountant, finds his waking life mirroring his lucid dreams. His workplace at the World Trade Center becomes the focal point for these eerie coincidences. Miriam writes a narrative where paranormal events suggest a deeper, controlled reality. The protagonist searches for answers, only to face a malevolent force treating humanity as data. This approach merges personal psychological horror with large-scale existential threats. The story does not rely on supernatural monsters but on the terror of being manipulated. It challenges the reader to consider the nature of their own existence through Klee’s eyes.
