Mary Against The
Invisible Machine
Maria wakes in an interrogation room with no memory of how she got there. All she knows is if she isn’t home by morning, she may lose her younger brother to the system for good. But when the agents sent to interrogate her discover her digital identity has been erased, what begins as a desperate search for answers becomes a fight to reclaim herself before everything she loves disappears with her. And as the line between reality and perception blurs, even the agents tasked with upholding the system begin to unravel beneath its weight.
Set in a world both familiar and unsettlingly near, Mary Against the Invisible Machine is an interrogation of the fragility of our existence when it’s reduced to ones and zeroes. Through the lens of psychological realism and speculative fiction, it's the story of one ordinary woman’s fight to be seen, remembered, and believed in a system that thrives on making people like her vanish. The question that will remain is: what’s left when the machine forgets you?
