Add to basketPaperback. Condition: new. Paperback. WELCOME TO THE FUTURE. YOU'RE DOING GREAT, SWEETIE.The United States has collapsed into a surveillance-state smoothie.Your neighbors are drones. Your therapist is a facial recognition algorithm. Your barista reports directly to Homeland Serenity.Lakshmi was just trying to stay alive when the Regime threw her into their most secret facility-a place so horrifying it makes Kafka look like a travel blogger. She should have died there. Instead, she escaped, triggering a nationwide crisis, several uncomfortable board meetings, and the personal wrath of Margot-a sadistic academic with tenure, state funding, and strong opinions on human behavior under duress.Now she's on the run through a country stitched together with barbed wire and regret, pursued by: Brian, a blob-shaped narcissism spiral with a badge.Margot, a former professor of ethics who now runs a human experimentation hospital and thinks empathy is "a learned liability."Approximately 10,000 drones, all slightly too eager to vaporize anything that twitches.And a chorus of weaponized toddlers whose screeching has been certified by the Geneva Convention as "a bit much."As Lakshmi races across crumbling cities, derelict satellites, and an underground resistance held together by duct tape and scripture, she begins to realize the truth: escape was the easy part. Now comes the reckoning.On her journey, Lakshmi will encounter: Underground monks whispering in code, A city that eats its own ruins, Biblical resistance fighters, And the growing suspicion that reality has been redacted.This isn't dystopia. This is customer service with a lobotomy.If you've ever screamed into a customer support chatbot, questioned the ethical implications of breakfast cereal, or feared that your refrigerator is snitching, then congratulations-this book is for you.If you like your sci-fi raw, unfiltered, and soaked in institutional dread-with a side of black humor and biblical references no one remembers authorizing-then congratulations. You've found your next obsession.Content warning: features weaponized rodents, rebellious teens, government mind-melds, and exactly one exploding pigeon. Do not operate heavy machinery while reading.Side effects include: ParanoiaSpiritual vertigoEmotional bonding with sewer dwellersAnd the sudden desire to eat dirt and call it liberation.THE REGIME THANKS YOU FOR YOUR CURIOSITY. YOUR IP ADDRESS HAS BEEN LOGGED. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
