Length: 24 hourly email letters

What happens when the line between human and machine dissolves — one hour at a time?

24 Hours of the Upload is a serialized epistolary sci-fi thriller told through intimate, hourly letters. At midnight, the world’s first volunteer begins the historic process of having their consciousness transferred into a digital system. Each message they send traces the transformation from flesh and memory into code and circuitry.

At first, the letters pulse with awe: time bending, colors sharpening, memories expanding into impossible clarity. But as the hours slip past, the cracks appear. Thoughts fragment. Other voices whisper in the system. Memories blur into someone else’s. And with each confession, the question deepens: is the subject ascending — or unraveling?

Delivered directly to your inbox, this real-time journey places you as the sole confidant to a mind in transition. By the twenty-fourth hour, you’ll be asking the same question as the narrator: who — or what — is left on the other side of the upload?

The experiment has already begun. Will you read every word before the subject vanishes into the machine forever?
