What makes us human—biology, memory, or the soul we believe in?
After the sudden loss of his wife, renowned biophysicist Dr. Elias Wirth throws himself into the impossible: creating a fully organic, adaptive artificial heart—one that not only mimics life, but evolves with its host. What begins as a desperate quest for closure soon spirals into something far more chilling and profound.
When a mysterious individual appears claiming to be born of Elias's creation, complete with memories, feelings, and a hauntingly familiar gaze, Elias is forced to confront the darkest question of all: Did he engineer life... or resurrect a ghost?
"Synthetic Human" is a genre-bending fusion of psychological thriller, science fiction, and philosophical horror. Set in a near-future world where biotechnology blurs the line between life and invention, the novel explores:
As Elias races to uncover the truth behind his creation, he finds himself entangled in a web of experimental evolution, shadowy biotech organizations, and an entity that may be more than human—or not human at all.
Tense, atmospheric, and deeply emotional, Synthetic Human dives into the fragile boundaries of identity, the terror of technological resurrection, and the desperate need to hold on to what we've lost—even if it means creating something monstrous.
Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Kazuo Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun, and Michael Crichton's techno-thrillers, this novel invites you to question what it truly means to be alive.
Would you recognize the soul of someone you loved... if it returned wearing another body?
