Description
In a radiant city where joy, prosperity, and communal celebration seem limitless, the inhabitants live within an ideal society unlike any other. Yet the city’s happiness rests on a devastating moral compromise, forcing each citizen to confront the cost of collective well-being. As some accept the bargain and others reject it, the story becomes a powerful meditation on complicity, sacrifice, freedom, and the ethics of utopia. Elegant, unsettling, and deeply philosophical, it challenges readers to consider what they would be willing to endure—or refuse—in the name of happiness.
