Description

In a gleaming, regimented future where every citizen is reduced to a number, a brilliant engineer works on the massive project that will cement the state’s control over the world. His life follows strict schedules, his thoughts are recorded in a communal diary, and the city’s glass walls reflect the endless march of the collective. Yet an unexpected encounter with a mysterious woman begins to stir feelings and doubts that the perfectly ordered society has never allowed.

As the protagonist grapples with the tension between his duty to the state and the growing yearning for personal freedom, the novel invites listeners to consider the cost of surrendering individuality to an all‑encompassing machine. The early chapters set up a stark, almost clinical world, while hinting at the fragile spark of rebellion that may yet challenge the relentless tide of conformity.
