The Quiet Index
In a near-future Britain where every book, conversation and purchase is filtered through a civic reading system, a former book formatter discovers that the archive is quietly deleting entire lives. He follows the gaps through second-hand bookshops, pirate audiobooks and the last unlogged paperbacks, trying to prove the missing people were real before the system edits him out too.
