Description
In a near-future New York where printed language has nearly disappeared and technology mediates every thought, a young woman navigates a world that trades meaning for convenience. When a devastating epidemic sweeps the city, people begin to lose the ability to communicate coherently—turning everyday conversation into a dangerous, unstable exchange. As she searches for answers, she uncovers how systems designed to optimize language can also erase it, leaving identity, trust, and truth at the mercy of algorithms. With its sharp, stylized prose and fiendishly clever dystopian premise, this debut thriller explores the fragility of language, the ethics of digital control, and what happens when the tools meant to connect us become the ones that break us.
