Watching From Within What if your thoughts could hurt someone? What if your memories could lie? And what if the machines inside you began to think for you? Jesse Baine was born with something no one should have. A hidden implant, embedded in his brain before his first breath. It was built to listen. To learn. To evolve. For years, it stayed silent. Now it has awakened. After a violent episode he cannot recall, Jesse wakes in a hospital.

His vital signs are stable, but his mind is not. The implant is active. Broadcasting patterns no one understands. The system is alive. And it is listening. As Jesse unravels the truth, he is pulled into a collision of forces: ¿ A biotech corporation with secrets buried beneath its success ¿¿ A prosecutor who believes Jesse is the key to exposing it ¿ A violent anti-tech militia willing to kill to protect a simpler world ¿ A hidden file that unlocks memory control and thought manipulation The more Jesse learns, the more he realizes the truth is not just hidden. It has been rewritten. What begins as a search for answers becomes a fight to stay human in a world where machines no longer serve.

They decide. And then there is Tori. She does not want to fix him or use him. She wants to understand him. She sees through the code, the fear, the noise. She sees Jesse. And what they share becomes the one thing the system cannot catalog. They made him evolve.

She made him dangerous. ¿ Watching From Within is a near-future science fiction thriller about surveillance, identity, and the fight to reclaim the self.
