About this audiobook
Jackson Paul wakes in a laboratory with fractured memories and a neural chip woven into his resurrected mind. NeuroTech calls it progress. Jack wants to know why he was brought back and who decided what he was allowed to remember. His search draws him through neon-soaked Hong Kong into Toyland, where familiar names hide dangerous loyalties and a photograph may hold more truth than any official story. Blending cyberpunk noir, fractured fairy tales, and a mystery of identity, A Safe Tale asks what survives when memory can be edited, death can be negotiated, and the people you love no longer agree on the past.
