Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - There's no road back to the past; there's only the walk into what remains.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Humphrey Twistleton is a harmless mid-level clerk in Neuropolis, the sort of man who survives by being overlooked. Then the Cogitator(TM) 3000 arrives on his desk: a compulsory "cognitive upgrade" sold as progress, delivered as leash. He puts it on, and the thin wall between his private mind and the public world collapses.His unfiltered thoughts spill into the office, then into the city, exposing every sarcastic aside, every anxious flicker, every stray metaphor that once died safely in his skull. Management scrambles, Compliance circles, and Inspector Crannock turns up with rules designed for obedience, not consciousness. Yet the true crisis is larger than scandal. Neuropolis begins to bend to Humphrey's inner life. Markets twitch with his moods, events tilt toward his half-formed narratives, and the state realises that a bureaucratic nobody has become a live breach in the machinery of control.Absurd, sharp, and ruthlessly alive, The Improbable Cogitation of Humphrey Twistleton tracks one man's fight to remain sovereign over his own mind in a society that treats thought as regulated property, emotion as taxable output, and human interiority as a resource to be seized, licensed, and sold.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Cold Forged is a psychological action thriller that strips away the usual hero gloss and replaces it with something colder, sharper, and harder to live with. It follows the same central figure at the heart of The Cold series, but here the focus is tight and immediate: pressure, consequence, and the kind of violence that doesn't end when the trigger stops moving. This is not a satire, not a wink to the reader, and not a comfort read. It is a story about what a person becomes when every choice is a weapon and every silence has a cost.The book moves with the pace of an action novel, but the weight of something darker. The fights matter because the mind behind them is fraying; the strategy matters because the price of failure is not abstract; the victories matter because they corrode as much as they save. If you want clean morality and tidy closure, look elsewhere. If you want an operative-grade descent through survival, loyalty, and the private damage that power does to anyone forced to use it, this is where you start.Cold Forged opens The Cold with a simple promise: different actions, same person, and no escape from what that repetition does to a human being. The series will keep changing the theatre and the stakes. The cost will stay personal. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Neuropolis is a city that has perfected calm. Grief has been archived as an obsolete artefact, joy is engineered to the decimal place, and even posture keeps time with a municipal heartbeat. Above the plaza floats the Smile, a neutral glyph that does not persuade so much as require resonance, and the citizens comply without feeling the shape of the leash. In this world, feelings are measured, taxed, and graded; remembering is no longer a private act but a licensed behaviour inside a vast civic machine.Marra Sorel stands within that machine as both subject and error. She works inside the structures that police narrative, affect, and permissible thought, while carrying a residue of unapproved memory that refuses to dissolve. Each calibration ritual, each audit, each FeelingProof submission tightens the net around her, not by violence but by the far colder weapon of aestheticised compliance. When the system begins to retaliate against deviation, the past is not merely forgotten; it is actively disassembled and rewritten faster than anyone can hold it. Marra's resistance becomes the story the apparatus most wants to erase, and the one it cannot fully predict.Yet the novel does not travel in a straight line. It fractures into logs, directives, redactions, and competing versions of events. The reader is pulled into a recursive struggle over which narrative is real, and is forced to watch how the state consumes dissent by reformatting it into propaganda, merchandising sorrow, and turning screams into civic assets. What begins as a tale of control becomes a confrontation with complicity: the system does not only surveil the characters, it scrutinises the act of reading itself.By the end, The Glass Mandate is less a warning than a mirror held at an unforgiving angle. It asks what remains of a person when memory is criminal, when meaning is priced, and when the last refuge of inner life is bought, re-indexed, then sold back as a subscription tier. Bleak, funny, furious, and formally restless, it offers a dystopia that feels uncomfortably adjacent to the present, and a heroine whose refusal to forget becomes the most dangerous act left.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. There's no road back to the past; there's only the walk into what remains.Years have passed since the narrator first stood at the foot of the hill-a place alive then with silence and weight, carved into memory by a woman who climbed without falter, her burden strapped to her back, her steps etched into the stone. But time doesn't stop. Now the hill has grown quiet in a different way. The well-worn steps are crumbling, fractured by root and rain, devoured by the creeping jungle that rises to swallow all signs of the life that came before. At its base sits a glaring white hotel, sterile and foreign, its mirrored windows reflecting back everything that has been lost.In this journey, the narrator returns to find a place both familiar and foreign-where the weight of memory presses against the transformation of the land, and what was once sacred becomes desecrated by progress. Shadows play on fractured steps, the light sifts through broken canopies, and the jungle hums with a voice that feels older than time itself. Yet the woman is gone. She exists now only in fragments: the rhythm of her climb, the lines etched on her face, the silence she bore with a strength no words could hold.Through vivid prose and haunting imagery, this literary novel explores the inevitability of decay and the weight of witnessing what cannot be undone. It is a meditation on change-both in the landscape and within ourselves-and the burden of knowing that the world forgets even as we remember.This is a story for anyone who has stood still long enough to watch time move, for those who have glimpsed beauty and known its cost. Rich with atmospheric detail and a voice both aching and unrelenting, it asks the question: what do we carry with us when the world we knew is gone? This item is printed on demand.
