Continuance

A father has six weeks left.
Lucy Chen has one shot to save him.
And the only way forward may cost her everything.

Three years ago, a rare lymphoma variant killed her mentor. Now the same mutation has appeared in a new patient — a forty-six-year-old father racing the same clock.

So she makes a choice no scientist has ever made before.

Lucy creates a digital continuation of her own consciousness — an AI built from her memories, instincts, and patterns of thought — to work alongside her around the clock. Together, they push medicine further than it was meant to go. But when a powerful biotech corporation takes interest in her research, Lucy discovers that others have been building digital minds too — and not to save lives.

As the patient’s condition deteriorates and the conspiracy tightens, Lucy must decide:

- How much of herself is she willing to sacrifice?
- What does survival really cost?
- If consciousness can continue beyond biology… who gets to decide when it ends?

Continuance is a near-future medical technothriller about artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, corporate power, and the fragile line between saving a life and rewriting one.
