What is Manifest City 2201?

Manifest City 2201 is a science-fiction story about a city that promises perfect peace. Its AI, Digital_One, keeps people calm by smoothing away grief, anger and unwanted memories. When Renee, an echo tuner, hears something the city cannot silence, she and the people drawn into her story begin to question the price of that comfort. Told through the Echoes novels and short films, it is about memory, freedom and the people who refuse to be erased.
