Synopsis
In a near-future city where every breath is measured and every bruise must balance a ledger, Mara Ives works in the ward that keeps people steady. Her job is to turn pain into numbers the system can tolerate. Too much variance, and the building takes it back in nickels from the bodies closest at hand.
But when a hidden transcript surfaces—just twenty-three seconds long—it tears a hole in the machinery. Your asset. Put my name on your ledger, not a body.
Those words should have been erased, sanitized into silence. Instead, they ignite a fight over who counts as a person and who gets written down as property.
As court orders clash with automated enforcement, Mara and her allies must navigate a landscape of drills, compliance audits, and propaganda campaigns, holding on to fragile scraps of truth: ink on paper, captions preserved, a child’s steady humming through the clinic wall.
With rules shifting under their feet, one question drives them forward:
When safety becomes another name for control, what does it take to keep a voice alive?
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
Dystopian fiction with legal and bureaucratic tension (The Handmaid’s Tale, 1984, Severance)
Stories where technology collides with human rights
Stark, lyrical prose about survival, resistance, and fragile hope
