Fragments

ELEVEN SHORT STORIES. TEN MILLION DIGITISED SOULS. COUNTLESS SECRETS BURIED IN THE CODE.

The day of the glitch was only the beginning. Behind the curtain of the Odyssey lies a sprawling, 400-year-old virtual ark composed of isolated bubble realities, each with its own rules, secrets, and lies.

FRAGMENTS: Tales from the Odyssey expands the universe of Wellsville through a high-stakes collection of interconnected stories, revealing the dark history and hidden corners of humanity's simulated afterlife:

• In Earth's dying hours, a desperate citizen fights for a digital transfer to a promised utopia, unaware of the true cost of upload.
• Across isolated enclaves, curious teenagers in dreary towns, endless high-rise worker hubs, and snowy mountain villages begin noticing the cracks in their artificial lives.
• In the glowing capital of Olympus, a fallen founder stands trial for past betrayals, system auditors crack down on excess data usage, and an inspector pursues an invisible serial killer.
• Meanwhile, in the beach haven of Wellsville, a confused Colby, paranoid Liam, lovestruck Mia and heartbroken Priya try to return to their normal lives. But even as the system refuses to let them move on, somehow existing as a teenager seems to be the hardest thing of all.

From the lawless digital underworlds to the highest chambers of system control, FRAGMENTS weaves together the perspectives of rebels, creators, and everyday citizens fighting to reclaim their agency before the server runs out of space and erases them forever.

Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Love, Death & Robots, and Silo, FRAGMENTS is a gripping, world-expanding YA techno-thriller that dives deep into the mind-bending secrets behind humanity’s final refuge.
