Books with author Philip DiStefano

How many times would you have to relive the same day before your life became only about that day? How long would it take for your memories before that day to become too fuzzy to recall details? How long would it take for you to break down under the monotony of not being able to escape?Brendon and Hayley don’t have to imagine this situation – they live it. For longer than their natural lives, they’ve been stuck in a repeat of August 28, 2018, and they have no idea how to stop it. Every morning they wake up to a reset world where no one remembers what is happening, and everything happens the exact same way.That is, until one iteration, something changes…

In the mid-21st century, grieving families have more to rely on than just pictures and memories of their deceased loved ones. Thanks to neural implant technology and the Ghost system, a person’s mind can be backed up and used to create a realistic copy of them in the pervasive augmented reality network known as the ARnet.Despite this advancement, there are some that choose not to back themselves up. For Kat, giving an exact copy of her memories to SpecterCorp is a huge privacy concern. One day, though, she goes to a local gathering place for the tech savvy and finds herself face to face with her own Ghost.It shouldn’t be possible, but somehow, someone has created an illegitimate copy of Kat, and she and her friend Nate won’t rest until they find a way to make her Ghost disappear.
