The Fading Feed is a psychological techno-thriller set in a near future where social platforms no longer censor speech, they regulate emotion.
In 2029, Europe’s dominant social platform Quietus promises harmony by removing friction from communication. No conflict, no outrage, no drama. Only calm, positive exchange. Behind the interface, however, an invisible system quietly suppresses emotional intensity itself: grief that lasts too long, anger that burns too brightly, love that becomes too deep.
When Megan Harlow, a data analyst working for Quietus’ parent company, begins to notice that certain emotions and certain people are slowly disappearing from public life, she starts to realize that the system is not protecting society from harm, but sterilizing it of depth.
As Megan’s own emotional presence becomes flagged as destabilizing, she is forced into a choice: allow herself to be quietly smoothed into irrelevance, or step outside the system entirely, even if that means losing her career, her social existence, and her place in the world.
What begins as a quiet investigation becomes a journey into the hidden architecture of control, where power no longer operates through force, but through comfort, language, and care.
The Fading Feed is a slow-burn, unsettling exploration of technology, emotion, and power, a novel about what happens when feeling itself becomes dangerous, and about the quiet courage it takes to remain human in a world designed to make us calm.
Perfect for readers of literary dystopia, psychological thrillers, and speculative fiction in the vein of Margaret Atwood, Dave Eggers, and Black Mirror-style narratives.
