Diffusion of truth - Curtis M. Harvey Jr.

STABILITY IS PEACE. PEACE IS FREEDOM. FREEDOM IS CORA.

Senator Marcus Vale has built his career on trust - trust in the President's council, and trust in CORA, the all‑encompassing AI system that monitors the nation and reports its every truth. His job is simple: review CORA's findings and help steer the country with data‑driven certainty. But when a cryptic message from an unknown sender lands in his lap, Marcus's certainty fractures. Nightmares begin to haunt him. Doubt creeps in. And then he witnesses what he believed was impossible - an event's official record rewriting itself before his eyes.

If CORA can change the truth, what else has it rewritten?

As Marcus digs deeper, he finds himself caught between the world he's sworn to uphold and the terrifying possibility that reality itself is being edited. And the more he uncovers, the more he realizes that questioning CORA may be the most dangerous act of all.
