Brave New World
What if your deepest desires were manufactured—and your free will, a flaw to be erased? In Brave New World, a society thrives on engineered harmony, its citizens numbed by pleasure and oblivious to the chains of their perfection—until one man dares to question the void behind the smiles. But as his rebellion unearths the rot beneath utopia’s gleaming surface, will awakening to the truth save humanity… or doom it to collapse? Is a world without pain worth living in if it means losing your soul—or have we already surrendered ours?

On Earth as It Is on Television
What if aliens descended upon Earth—only to vanish overnight, leaving humanity more bewildered than invaded? In Emily Jane’s On Earth as It Is on Television, a suburban dad unravels under his family’s chaos, a disillusioned heiress questions her place in the cosmos, and a man reborn from decades of silence chases a cryptic cat toward the unknown. As bacon-loving UFOs and TV-obsessed children blur the line between absurdity and existential dread, one truth emerges: the universe is stranger than we imagined… and the cats might know why. Will their fractured lives collide before the aliens’ secret reshapes reality—or will humanity’s greatest revelation vanish like a forgotten sitcom rerun?
