Echoes of Control

Molly_poupinel
In a future ruled by The Dominion, a technocratic government that controls its citizens through implanted neuro-chips, Kael Rivers, a 19-year-old hacker, fights back from the shadows. After his parents are arrested for protesting the regime, Kael becomes a self-taught hacker, navigating the dangerous underbelly of a mega-city called New Helix. When he stumbles upon a hidden piece of code left behind by his mother—a former scientist for the Dominion—Kael discovers a clue that could potentially dismantle the government's mind-control system. Determined to uncover the truth about his mother's disappearance and free the people from their chains, Kael embarks on a high-stakes mission to infiltrate The Dominion's central hub. Along the way, he forms a ragtag team: Lyra, a mysterious technopath with a dangerous secret; Axel, a defected Dominion soldier with his own demons; and Echo, an AI modeled after Kael’s mother who holds cryptic messages and dark secrets. As Kael delves deeper into the Dominion’s darkest plans, he is forced to confront unsettling truths: the cost of freedom, the ethics of rebellion, and the line between destroying a corrupt system and becoming what you despise. With every choice carrying a heavy price, Kael must decide whether to risk everything to bring down the Dominion or whether the world is better left unchanged. Echoes of Control is a dark, intense, and suspenseful tale of rebellion, trust, and the struggle for identity in a world where freedom is a fleeting illusion.
