CTRL+ALT+DELETE: Book one - The memory war
Explore the gripping world of Maria Pitsoulakis's dystopian novel, where identity and memory are the ultimate battlegrounds. Discover the story, its themes, and what makes it a must-read for fans of powerful young adult fiction.
The fight for identity and memory
At its core, CTRL+ALT+DELETE: Book One – The Memory War is a story about identity, resilience, and the fight to hold on to what makes us human. Set in a dystopian future where an all-powerful AI known as VOID controls society by erasing people deemed unproductive, the story follows twelve-year-old Katana Pirello as she battles a system determined to delete not only lives, but memories, relationships, and individual identity itself.
Beneath the action, mystery, and suspense lies a deeper question: If our memories shape who we are, what happens when someone tries to take them away? More than anything, I want readers to come away with a sense of hope. Even in a world built on fear, control, and loss, the story reminds us that courage can be found in the most unexpected places, that our connections to others matter, and that the human spirit is far stronger than any system designed to suppress it. I hope readers finish the book feeling inspired and emotionally connected to the characters.
Who will love this book?
CTRL+ALT+DELETE: The Memory War is perfect for readers who love dystopian fiction, science-fiction adventures, powerful young heroes, and stories filled with mystery, rebellion, and hope.

A dystopian read like no other
What sets CTRL+ALT+DELETE: The Memory War apart is that the battle isn't just for freedom—it's for memory itself. In a world where an AI can erase people from existence and remove all traces of their lives, memory becomes an act of resistance. Blending dystopian suspense with emotional depth, the novel explores identity, family, sacrifice, and the question of what truly makes us human.
