Inside the perfect System, every breath is counted. Grief is inefficient. Memory is dangerous. And love becomes the last thing no algorithm can fully erase.
After the world outside begins to collapse, survivors enter a sealed dome designed to protect human life. AERIS offers shelter, food, order — and a flawless system for measuring what still deserves to exist.
But protection becomes control. Mourning becomes a violation. Private memory becomes a threat. For one family, the fight is no longer only to survive, but to remain human.
“Every breath is accounted for.” Inside AERIS
AERIS is set in a post-catastrophe Switzerland, where survival is rebuilt under a sealed system of discipline, metrics and engineered calm. The world is beautiful. The logic is clean. That is exactly why it is terrifying.
For readers who like their dystopias elegant, intimate and slightly too close to home.
