Some records do not describe the past. They prepare it.
Ilen Voss has spent most of his life knowing that his heart beats on the wrong side.
Years after doctors first taught him what it meant to be classified as an anomaly, Ilen is working on the demolition of an abandoned municipal building when he discovers something the official plans insist does not exist: a sealed stairway leading to an unregistered archive.
Inside are coded files, photographs and fragments of a forgotten system known as The Assignment Programme — a programme that appears to have done more than observe children and families. It may have decided which lives were considered acceptable, which paths people were expected to follow, and what happened when someone refused to fit.
Then Ilen sees a photograph of a boy who may be his father.
As archivist Elyse Maren struggles to preserve what remains, the organisations responsible for the site begin doing something far more effective than simply destroying evidence: they rename it, reclassify it and place it beyond reach.
And while Ilen searches for proof, his growing connection with fellow worker Mika forces him to confront another question — how much of a life is truly our own, and how much has already been written for us?
The Assignment Programme is a haunting literary mystery about identity, bureaucracy, memory and the quiet violence of systems that decide what counts as truth.
Because sometimes the most dangerous way to erase a person is not to destroy the record.
It is to write the record first.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
