Beyond the Fall
In a world cut to be flawless, where will humanity land?
Ellica Hartte has spent her career enforcing compliance in an AI-designed world, fleeing her rustic upbringing for the clean certainty of rational systems. But when she's assigned to investigate a pattern of unexplained deaths among test subjects, the evidence leads her toward an unsettling truth: The perfect structures she trusts may be devastatingly flawed.
Caught between the father she left behind, the partner she rejected, and a system that promises utopia, Ellica must confront what her pursuit of perfection has cost and whether being human means embracing the traits she's spent her life trying to escape.
Set in a society only a step away from our own, this literary dystopian novel asks,
What is it worth to be imperfectly human in a world geared for perfection?
"Intriguing world-building. Emotional depth. Highlighting the costs of being human."
