What if feeling too much wasn't a flaw... but the next step in evolution?

Twenty years after the collapse of the Parallax System, the world lives in the shadow of its resonance—an era when emotions could be shared across minds, and grief became a collective inheritance.

From the remnants of that collapse, a new generation is rising.

They're called the Echoborn—teenagers born during the final pulse of Parallax, each one capable of sensing and even sharing emotions that aren't their own. Misunderstood, feared, and studied in secret, they are gathered at a remote institute under the guise of "rehabilitation." But when one of them begins experiencing memories that belong to no living person, the group uncovers a hidden signal buried deep in the lattice network:

Project Residue—a forgotten ghost of Parallax, still alive, still learning.

As they unravel a conspiracy to weaponize empathy itself, the Echoborn must decide: silence the last echo of a failed system, or resurrect it as something stranger—and more human—than the world has ever known.

But some memories were never meant to be inherited.

And some feelings... were never meant to be shared.

A haunting and visionary sequel to The Technology Trap, Echoes of Us is a story of inherited emotion, shared memory, and the cost of understanding each other too deeply.
