The escalation
Trust no one.
In a world where memories can be shared, even your identity may not be your own.
Two years after the events of DOWNLOAD, Valentine Ortiz and Edward Vance are once again dragged into a struggle that will decide the fate of Loadtech—and this time, the cost is even more personal.
Who determines the worth of a life—the one who lives it, or the one who can steal it? With limitless wealth and power, corporations are rewriting what it means to be human, tightening their grip on an already impoverished populace and widening the gap between classes. But when memory itself can be borrowed, altered, or sold, how can anyone be certain of who they really are?
UPLOAD is a post-cyberpunk thriller about those who unwittingly helped build the system that enabled oppression—and who now risk everything to dismantle it. But before they can save the future, Valentine and Edward must first fight for their own survival—and for the people they love.
Loadtech's world challenges how we define right and wrong, where knowledge conceals opinions and truth stems from the source of knowledge one trusts, rather than what is real.
Who controls memory controls the future.
