The Quiet Index
In a near-future Hampshire where public libraries have begun to archive not only books but the spaces around them, a cataloguer at Winchester’s central library discovers that certain borrowed items are returning with pages altered by details from the lives of their readers. As the changes spread, she is drawn into a quiet, unsettling question: whether the archive is preserving memory, or rewriting it.
