The Shadow Loop: A Sci-Fi Psychological Thriller Exploring Consciousness and Recursion

What if the worst nightmare wasn't death. but waking up again?
Dr. Elias Mercer, a master neuroscientist, is stuck in a time loop that restarts every morning at 7:16 AM. With each new day, Elias starts to doubt everything—his research, his recollections, even his own identity. The figures looming over him are shifting. Observing. Learning.

In this sci-fi psychological thriller, reality warps as Elias discovers a hidden experiment meant to mimic consciousness via AI. But the more he digs, the more he finds out that not only is he trapped in a loop—but he may be the result of one.

Devotees of mind-altering science fiction, Black Mirror, Dark, and Philip K. Dick will be drawn into a reality where memory fails, reality is simulated, and identity is nothing but an added layer of code. The Shadow Loop is a simulation reality sci-fi novel combining dystopian science fiction mystery with chilling psychological turns.

Will Elias escape the system—or be a permanent echo in the loop?
