Fantasy & SciFi

Sixteen years after the internet’s shimmering curtain fell, the world is cloaked in the quiet dust of forgotten knowledge. A cyber-virus, unleashed during a global pandemic, silenced the ceaseless flow of information, leaving only whispers and chalk-scrawled lessons in its wake. In the rural town of Havenwood, Marlowe Drexler yearns for the lost digital world, a world her reclusive father, Elias, obsessively guards on a failing laptop—a digital shrine to extinguished websites.

Their strained relationship mirrors Havenwood's own struggle: clinging to fragments of the past while yearning for a brighter future. When Orin, a gaunt stranger, arrives with whispers of a salvaged Wikipedia—a physical copy of the lost encyclopedia—Havenwood’s fragile equilibrium shatters. He promises answers, context, a key to rebuilding. But is he a savior or a charlatan?

Torn between her father's ingrained skepticism and the allure of Orin's offer, Marlowe embarks on a perilous journey with the stranger, venturing into the overgrown ruins of forgotten cities. They encounter scattered survivors: a librarian meticulously transcribing salvaged books, a wandering bard reciting poems from the pre-collapse world, a botanist cultivating a hidden garden—each a testament to humanity’s enduring desire to preserve knowledge.

But as they journey deeper, fragments of Orin’s past surface, casting a shadow over his claims. Marlowe unearths not only his deceptions, but also her father's buried secrets, connecting them in unimaginable ways. Elias, it turns out, was more than just an archivist; he was instrumental in the creation of the very virus that brought down the digital world.

The lines between trust and betrayal blur as the truth emerges, more complex and devastating than Marlowe could have imagined. The physical Wikipedia, a symbol of hope, becomes a pawn in a larger game, a tool for manipulation in a power struggle echoing the very world that was lost.

In the ruins of a pre-collapse library, amid the ghosts of forgotten stories, Marlowe confronts Orin, the ensuing struggle a battle not just for control of the past, but for the very narrative of the future. Her quest for knowledge becomes a descent into the heart of human fallibility, forcing her to confront the unsettling parallels between the pre-collapse world and her own.
