Erased: The Whistleblower Files
Summary
When idealistic insider Sarah Wynn-Wilmore blows the whistle on tech giant Zentry, she’s plunged into a high-stakes battle for survival—where the very tools of connection become weapons of erasure.In the shadowy corridors of Zentry—the world’s most powerful social platform—Sarah Wynn-Wilmore, a principled former diplomat, uncovers a chilling web of corporate malfeasance. Once a true believer in technology’s promise, Sarah’s faith shatters as she discovers Zentry’s secret surveillance deals with authoritarian regimes and the calculated exploitation of vulnerable populations for growth. Driven by conscience, she pens a tell-all memoir, only to trigger a relentless onslaught: Zentry’s legal machine, led by the enigmatic CEO Mark Zuckerman and his ruthless lieutenants, orchestrates deepfake scandals, media blackouts, and psychological warfare to erase her from public memory. As her world narrows and the digital walls close in, Sarah must decide how far she’s willing to go—and whom she can trust—when every message, meeting, and friendship could be weaponized against her. Against a backdrop of UN summits, clandestine whistleblower networks, and global regulatory intrigue, Sarah’s fight becomes a crucible for the digital age. The company’s leadership—Zuckerman’s pathological need for control, Sandstone’s predatory ambition, Kappel’s institutional cruelty—personifies the toxic culture threatening democracy itself. As alliances shift and the fate of digital truth hangs in the balance, Sarah’s journey is a razor-edged meditation on the cost of speaking out, the power of narrative, and the corrosive reach of unchecked technology. Will her revelations spark a reckoning, or will Zentry’s machinery succeed in rewriting reality before she can expose the truth?
