Uncounted

There are people who disappear without dying.They simply stop being counted.After discovering that a system can predict, classify and erase, Lia realises there is an even quieter way to disappear: to remain alive while ceasing to exist in the records that define who matters.The Uncounted are those left outside statistics, databases, official histories and the decisions made in everyone's name.As Lia investigates the forgotten cases, she uncovers lives reduced to numbers, relationships misclassified and people turned into administrative absences.But every recovered record raises a more dangerous question: who decides who deserves to remain visible?The Uncounted is the third volume in The Archive of the Absent, a psychological and technological thriller about identity, memory, exclusion and the power of a system capable of making someone disappear without having to kill them.
