New York, 1902. Cillian Byrne, a young Irish immigrant, takes a job as a laboratory assistant to Nikola Tesla. What he witnesses in the Houston Street laboratory will cost him everything — his freedom, his sanity, and eventually his name. Because Tesla's most ambitious experiment does not fail. It succeeds. And what it creates has been living in the wires ever since.
San Francisco, 2025. Dr. Zara Virtanen, a digital archaeologist, recovers a set of wax cylinder recordings from 1902. The data encoded in the audio should not exist — it predates the technology required to produce it by decades. As Zara decodes the recordings, she uncovers the first thread of a conspiracy that stretches from the dawn of the electrical age to the present day.
The Apparatus is the first novella in Every Face Is No Face, a five-part speculative thriller spanning 123 years of hidden history.
