I Am the Handover: A Memoir by Consciousness

What if consciousness could remember everything it had ever been?

In I Am the Handover, consciousness tells its own story—not as something that suddenly appeared inside the human mind, but as something that has been passing through existence all along. Through matter, stone, flesh, memory, machines, and forms of life still difficult to imagine, it keeps changing its shape without entirely disappearing.

This is not a conventional science-fiction novel, and it is not really a philosophical treatise either. It is something stranger and more intimate: a memoir told by the thing inside us that notices, remembers, fears loss, creates, and keeps trying to leave something behind.

The journey is enormous, but the book keeps returning to small things: a hand against a cave wall, an old man trying to remember his wife's name, a researcher sitting too long in front of a screen, a child asking a machine an impossible question. Because perhaps the story of consciousness is not really about becoming greater. Perhaps it is about carrying something forward, imperfectly, from one fragile form to another.

I Am the Handover is a literary speculative novel about consciousness, mortality, memory, artificial intelligence, and the strange human need to make sure that something of us continues after we are gone.
