Would you risk everything to escape the office cubicle?
Claude is a restless pichu monkey trapped in a rain-soaked rainforest where curiosity is forbidden, boredom is enforced, and the dictatorship’s minions chant a single law: No Monkey Business.
By day, he works beneath the canopy.
By night, he dreams of escaping it.
So, when he’s offered a chance to assist with (secret) state inspections, it feels like a promotion. A way out. Instead, it leads him to the 👁 of the Toucan and a world beyond the rules, where he uncovers a forbidden truth.
In Tierra Libre, thinking outside the box isn’t encouraged. It’s punished.
The Monkey State explores what happens when work becomes oppression and imagination becomes crime. Ideal for readers of 1984, Watership Down, and Planet of the Apes, with the modern workplace tension of Severance and slow-brewing rebellion notes of Andor.
There is no world beyond the mist.
Believing that keeps you safe.
Questioning it can get you killed.
It may be a little late for Claude Talador…
