Can a lived experience be restored? On an exoplanet, artificial intelligences have abducted Mad, a committed physicist, but whilst exploring her brain, they have caused a malfunction. To repair her memory, they summon Davos, the man who loved her. Memories emerge in fragments: gestures, faces, landscapes, then become clearer. Part science fiction, part intimate narrative, DELETE follows this fragile reconstruction. The machines calculate and regenerate, but founder on what eludes them.
