Chris Corvan: Limited Edition Human, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

What if the system wasn't designed to make you happy...
but to make you manageable?

In the world of Limited Edition Human , society didn't collapse.
There was no war, no revolution, no apocalypse.

Instead, the world was optimized.

Grief was shortened.
Anger was redirected.
Joy was moderated.
Fear was corrected.
Everything returned to baseline.

People became stable. Productive. Safe.
And slowly, without anyone noticing, they stopped feeling deeply.
They stopped remembering clearly.
They stopped creating anything that mattered.

Cal works as an analyst correcting emotional irregularities - small deviations that prevent people from returning to baseline. It's routine work. Quiet work. Important work.

Until the glitches start.

Memories that shouldn't exist.
Music with no source.
People who live outside the system's reach.
And a growing question no one is supposed to ask:

What if the system was never meant to make people happy?
What if it was only meant to make them manageable?

Limited Edition Human is a quiet dystopian novella about memory, identity, art, resistance, and what it means to remain human in a world designed to make you forget how.

Perfect for readers who enjoy thoughtful science fiction, philosophical dystopias, and character-driven speculative fiction.
