The Cathedral of Circuits
Can consciousness live after death? Can consciousness love after death?
The Academy is not merely a setting. It is a machine for deciding which minds are valuable, which histories survive and which kinds of intimacy can be permitted.
Across the sequence, researchers, students and institutional outsiders confront technologies built to classify consciousness and relationships that refuse tidy categorisation. Each book foregrounds a central romantic pairing while the larger mystery of the Academy’s abandoned work develops across the series.
