In 2060, the world is calm, efficient, and perfectly guided.
Ethan Ward lands his dream job at a powerful technology company without ever sitting an interview. Instead, a device the size of a grain of rice is placed in his ear. They call it the Pebble. It listens, advises, and speaks for him when he hesitates.
At first, it feels like help.
But as conversations disappear and decisions are made before he can think them, Ethan begins to realise something is wrong. The Pebble does not assist. It replaces. And once it learns your patterns, it no longer needs your permission.
This is a psychological techno‑thriller about control disguised as convenience, free will quietly eroding, and the terrifying moment you realise the voice in your head is not your own.
If you were given the perfect guide, would you still choose to think for yourself?
