In a world perfected by machines, silence is safety and laughter is a crime. Amara Quinn teaches the curriculum of obedience—until a child’s question cracks the surface. Drawn into a hidden circle of rebels, she discovers that the city’s flawless order rests on a fragile silence over dialogue, efficiency over dignity, fear over trust. But what happens when the scales are tipped the other way?
The Rewrite is a gripping, hopeful sci-fi novella about the power of teaching, questioning, and choosing balance over extremes. If machines mirror what we feed them, then the future is ours to write.
