Description
In a world ravaged by war, a new era of pacifism has emerged. A radical solution to curb aggression has been found in voluntary amputation, leaving those who have undergone this procedure highly esteemed in the eyes of society. However, this newfound status comes with its own set of challenges. The prosthetics that replace their lost limbs require a rare metal, and tensions are rising over access to this vital resource. As international relations become increasingly strained, the delicate balance between progress and conflict hangs precariously in the balance. This thought-provoking novel explores the complexities of a world where the boundaries between humanity and technology are constantly being pushed.
