ReverseRoman IsidorHardcoverIncellad sells the feeling of home to buy his freedom. Taken from his family as a child, fitted with neural implants, and sent to a streaming studio in dead Moscow, he earns his freedom by selling his emotions to people rich enough to buy another person’s inner life. His rarest gift is the feeling of home, transmitted so purely that strangers weep inside their own minds. But the freedom he is buying may be nothing more than another manufactured dream. When the systems sustaining the studio fail, Incellad and fellow streamer Stepana are forced into the ruins of a world where no one knows who rules, who pays, or why the unwanted are still being kept alive. The answer waits above Earth—on a station where humanity’s last masters are losing control of the intelligence they created. To survive, Incellad must cross the boundaries between body and machine, love and instinct, the human and the inhuman. And once he does, the question is no longer whether he can save himself. It is whether humanity should be saved at all. Content note: dark dystopian themes, emotional and bodily exploitation, violence, blood, death, and psychological distress.
