Chipless

A dark dystopian sci-fi thriller in the tradition of 1984 and Black Mirror. -- From the award-winning author of PARALLELS

Happiness is mandatory.

In the City, every citizen carries a brain chip designed to eliminate fear, conflict, and suffering.

Nobody questions the system.
Nobody rebels.
Nobody even wants to.

Until Kal begins to remember.

Haunted by fragments of forbidden memories and hunted by the authorities, Kal discovers the terrifying truth behind the chips that control humanity's emotions, thoughts, and desires.

Escaping the City means entering a brutal world of rebels, surveillance, betrayal, and secrets the government will kill to protect.

But the deeper Kal digs, the more disturbing the truth becomes:

humanity may already have surrendered the very thing that makes it human.

Perfect for readers of dystopian sci-fi thrillers like 1984, Brave New World, The Hunger Games, and Black Mirror, CHIPLESS is a fast-paced story of freedom, identity, and the terrifying cost of engineered happiness.
