If it exists, it invoices.
In a gleaming metropolis where daylight runs on salary and civic virtue is billed by the second, life is an endless loop of automated mercy. Benches cost three cents a minute. Shade is billed per breath. Eye contact, casual conversation, and laughter are available through tiered, pre-approved subscriptions. Over every citizen's head hovers a halo tuned to the color of their birth day, rotating in seamless harmony with the Lattice-an all-encompassing municipal network that demands perfect posture, audited gratitude, and unwavering calm.
For Elias, a Thursday-born clerk assigned to Predictive Subscriptions, survival is simple: wake up, approve transactions, smile for the diagnostics, and let the weekly Universal Zero reset his debt. Grief and anger have been engineered out of the glossary. When people vanish from their desks or cafeteria tables, they aren't gone; they've simply entered an "administrative state," replaced by clean tiles, fresh air, and an expectation of gratitude.
Then the seams begin to tear.
It starts with a lagging reflection in a washroom mirror. A quiet whisper threaded through the air vents. An unbilled memory carved into raw concrete: THE SPACE WHERE THEY WERE. And Davin-a stranger with a Sunday-red halo who sits near enough to share an unmonetized breath.
As small, forbidden truths begin to leak through the city's sterile facade, Elias discovers that the greatest threat to a flawless system isn't an army or an explosion-it's a single unpriced feeling, a stolen silence, and a sentence the algorithm cannot silence: Near is enough.
Lyrical, razor-sharp, and chillingly prescient, Mint is a high-concept dystopian novel exploring algorithmic control, late-stage surveillance, and the stubborn persistence of the human spirit inside a world engineered to forget it.

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.
