ThoughtScribe

In a near future where memories can be digitally extracted and relived, a reclusive neuroscientist invents 'ThoughtScribe,' a device capable of recording not just memories, but the raw thought processes behind them. When his estranged daughter uses the device to uncover the truth about her mother's mysterious disappearance, she uncovers a conspiracy that challenges the very nature of consciousness and reality.
