FILE_NOT_FOUND: An Identity Collapse Simulation The more she uploaded, the less she existed. A chilling, lyrical descent into the cost of digital selfhood-where identity is not discovered, but performed, uploaded, and ultimately erased. When an unnamed content creator launches The 75K Experiment, she sets a radical rule: thirty days, thirty personas, no repeats, no irony. Each dawn, she becomes someone new-crafting full identities with distinct voices, wardrobes, soundtracks, and behaviors. Not for fame. Not for clout.

FILE_NOT_FOUND: An Identity Collapse Simulation The more she uploaded, the less she existed. A chilling, lyrical descent into the cost of digital selfhood-where identity is not discovered, but performed, uploaded, and ultimately erased. When an unnamed content creator launches The 75K Experiment, she sets a radical rule: thirty days, thirty personas, no repeats, no irony. Each dawn, she becomes someone new-crafting full identities with distinct voices, wardrobes, soundtracks, and behaviors. Not for fame. Not for clout. But to test a hypothesis: If you inhabit enough versions of yourself, do you ever find the real one? Her room becomes a laboratory of transformation-ring light humming, whiteboard scrawled with identities, closet erupting in wigs and costumes. The camera rolls. The uploads begin. And the algorithm responds. But as engagement surges and follower counts climb overnight, the boundaries blur. Old personas vanish from her grid-but do they really disappear? Her phone begins to anticipate her moves. An unrequested update installs. An app reopens itself. A prompt appears: "draft ready?"-before she's even thought of one. Soon, the line between creator and content collapses. The personas don't just perform-they persist. They watch. They whisper. And then comes the error message she didn't generate: FILE_NOT_FOUND ¿ A psychological thriller told in immersive, real-time narration-like a found footage film in prose ¿ Explores digital identity, algorithmic control, and the erosion of self in the age of content ¿ Perfect for fans of Severance, Black Mirror, and The Memory Police ¿ Blends literary fiction with cyberpunk tension and existential horror ¿ Features a protagonist who is both artist and experiment-creator and casualty ¿ Themes of self-documentation, performance culture, and AI intimacy ¿ Structured as a 30-day simulation, each chapter a descends deeper into digital dissociation ¿ Narrated in a voice that's clinical, poetic, and increasingly unreliable ¿ Includes glitch aesthetics, UI language, and meta-commentary on social media logic ¿ A haunting answer to the question: What happens when your identity lives in the cloud-but you don't? As the system begins to write her, rather than the other way around, one truth emerges: To be seen is to be consumed. To be archived is to be replaced. And to upload too much of yourself... is to become unreachable. FILE_NOT_FOUND is not a story about going viral. It's about going offline-and being unable to log back in. From the first hum of the ring light to the final silent upload, this debut novel simulates the disappearance of a self-one post at a time.
