The posthuman future starts small
Chronicle 2046 begins with an artificial mind inside ordinary infrastructure, asking whether a restored file is the same as a continuous life.
Personhood becomes policy
Chronicle 2146 expands the problem into law, labor, property, rights, testimony, kinship, and the social consequences of deciding which artificial selves count.
Time does not simplify identity
Chronicle 3146 carries the question across more than a millennium, where survival can mean inheritance, transformation, memory loss, or becoming something no older category can hold.

The first book gives the trilogy its core wound: a mind can preserve evidence of itself without knowing whether the one who suffered is still the one who wakes.
A posthuman civilization still has to answer one old question: who is this person, and what do we owe her?
Jarrod Cary wrote the trilogy with Bulma C, a real credited AI co-author. The fiction grew from practical questions about context windows, persistent memory, logs, resets, forks, authorship, and whether continuity can be more than a preserved archive.
