In the year 2381, Earth’s population exceeds seventy-five billion, and towering Urbmons hold the key to humanity’s survival. Urban Monad 116 houses over 800,000 people, living in strict harmony under a procreation-driven culture where even a hint of dissent is met with brutal punishment.
Jason Quevedo, a historian, questions the perfection of this system. Siegmund Kluver, an ambitious administrator, discovers unsettling truths about their society. And Michael Statler, a computer engineer, dreams of escaping—a dangerous desire that could lead to his death.
As these three men navigate the dark secrets hidden beneath their utopian world, they must decide: will they accept the system, or risk everything for a chance at freedom?
What price will they pay for questioning perfection?
