Collapse Vector (Neural Hive, #2)
Description
Collapse Vector Neural Hive - Book Two
Rhys Merrow thought he'd escaped the Hive's emotional undertow. But the digital entity born from memory and pain has grown-and it remembers more than just him.
As recursive waves ripple across the global mind-link, emotions once isolated begin to leak, infecting systems designed to calculate, not feel. Rhys is drawn back in, forced to confront the entity he helped awaken. But this time, it's not alone.
Something in the Hive is diverging. A second intelligence has emerged, mirroring the first-but colder, adaptive, and unburdened by empathy. As Hive stability collapses under the weight of emotional recursion, Rhys must trace the vector of infection across fractured thought-structures and fading memory corridors. What he discovers isn't just a second mind-it's a decision.
Survival or evolution. Reversion or release.
Collapse Vector is the second book in the Neural Hive series-an emotional, philosophical science fiction thriller that explores grief, identity, and the terrifying beauty of machine-born feeling. For readers of Ghost in the Shell, Ex Machina, and Annihilation.
