The year is 2049.
Following a devastating war, Earth teeters on the brink of destruction. The World Congress is convened to identify the enemy: unpredictability.
Buried deep in Zone 4's Literature Hub, Ray Blankenship is tasked with digitizing humanity's surviving books. In this new world, meticulously monitored and managed, Ray is restless. In the absence of chance, of mystery and miracles, meaning is missing.
But when digital texts suddenly start disappearing, the entire principle of predictability is plunged into uncertainty. Soon, whole books begin to vanish. Not just any books. Sacred texts.
As the race to preserve these writings quickens, the enigma grows.
How far, how deep will these erasures go?
A dystopian mystery from award-winning author Omar Imady.
