Description

In a near-future landscape shaped by division and surveillance, a community living along the DMZ confronts the fragile boundaries between safety and control, memory and erasure. As daily life becomes entangled with political power and the ethics of survival, residents navigate shifting identities, contested histories, and the costs of being watched. Blending speculative imagination with incisive social observation, the novel explores themes of displacement, state violence, and the human need to belong. Don Mee Choi’s distinctive, lyrical style brings urgency and emotional clarity to a story that asks what it means to live—and to resist—when the border is not just a line, but a system.
