Are we copies of ghosts?
Will Miller is a forensic systems analyst who spends his nights hunting down anomalies in complex digital infrastructures. But during a routine sweep of NEXIS—the federal biometric database—he finds something that shouldn't be possible: a "collision" where two separate citizens share identical fingerprints, retinal maps, and gait signatures.
When one of the men dies in a staged accident and both of their records are surgically erased from every database in the country, Will realizes he hasn't just found a glitch. He has stumbled onto a clean-up script running in the physical world. Pursued by omnipotent "Admins" who manipulate urban infrastructure to enforce their terrifying version of reality, Will teams up with a graduate student whose own biometrics are actively converging with a stranger's.
But the deepest terror lies hidden within the system's code: Will finds his own name next to an identical biometric profile belonging to a man named Adam Cross. With only days before the architecture of the world deletes his duplicate to resolve the error, Will must break into a highly guarded Nevada server farm to crash the system itself. Ghost in the Architecture is a razor-sharp tech-thriller that questions the fabric of reality, the nature of identity, and the hidden systems that govern our existence.
