The Irem Trilogy- Datapocalypse

We photograph everything. We store everything. We forget that storage has limits.Humanity has spent decades recording its existence in ever-finer detail, and the archive has finally grown too big for the planet to hold. Now something - no one will say what - has started clearing space. It begins with a bridge. Then a monument. Then entire buildings, gone in the middle of the afternoon, along with whoever happened to be inside them. The official position is that nothing is happening. The official position is extremely well funded.Anna Francescatto was photographing Lady Liberty the instant it stopped existing. Kicis Orion is a historian who trusts his gut over the archive - convenient, since the archive keeps disappearing. Separately, then together, they start pulling at the edges of a phenomenon that a shadowy government and its corporate sponsors would very much prefer left alone.To stop the deletions, they'll need the few people still willing to look: a scientist being quietly silenced, a handful of fringe academics the official story forgot to discredit, and anyone else flying low enough to survive asking the wrong questions - before whatever's next on the list vanishes, and nobody knows what's next on the list.Datapocalypse is the first book of the IREM Trilogy: a satire about data, memory, and the quiet catastrophe of mistaking a record of life for the living of it.
