Micro World
The world is on the brink of collapse due to explosive population growth. Resources are dwindling, spaces are shrinking, and living standards are declining. In the chaotic streets of Istanbul, Dr. Cemal Gürkan, a visionary scientist, has a groundbreaking solution-shrinking humans. But will this radical idea save humanity, or plunge it into a profound ethical and social crisis?
As scientists across Turkey merge the rich cultural heritage of Anatolia with science to bring this idea to life, they build a miniature world. Newly established small cities, evolving monetary systems, and the widening gap between rich and poor raise major questions about humanity's new order. Is life truly easier in this shrunken world, or do unexpected threats and challenges lie ahead?
Micro World is not only the story of a physically shrunken humanity but also an epic tale of how society, culture, and values are tested, with Turkish culture emerging as a unifying force in this new order. Through the intertwined themes of technology, ethics, power struggles, and solidarity, this novel lays bare the colossal challenges humanity faces even as it shrinks.
The world is getting smaller, but the problems are growing...

"Oh, I understand." I didn't blink as I spoke. "But the only way I'm ever stepping foot inside your set is if you force me."
"Our contestants are volunteers," Ms. Holle went on. "We've always run the games that way and forever will. We're not accustomed to forcing anyone to partake, and that opportunity will be extended to you too."
