In an alternate twentieth century shaped by a decades-long war, Miriam survives by detaching from everyone and everything. When peace finally comes, The New Society mandates her way of life—no families, no attachments, no exceptions.
As a researcher, Miriam helps shape this unsettling new order. But what begins as scientific work becomes a tool of control, and the consequences are more devastating than she ever imagined. Haunted by guilt, she hatches a plan to dismantle the system she helped create, even if it costs her everything.
Told as a fictional autobiography, this chilling and intimate story questions memory, morality, and the lies we tell ourselves to survive.
Is Miriam’s confession a reckoning—or another layer of manipulation?
