Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Something in Lucknow is finishing people's sentences.Not metaphorically. Not as a figure of speech. The decisions people believe they are making - the routes they take, the words they choose, the moments they act - are completing themselves with a precision no one can explain and almost no one has noticed.Journalist Meera Sanyal notices.Still carrying the unresolved weight of Kabir - the partner she lost - Meera starts pulling at what should be an ordinary story: the rolling blackouts collapsing across the city, and the immaculate energy company behind Lucknow's grid that has nothing to say about them. What she finds instead is a pattern. Not a conspiracy with architects and motives, but something older and stranger - a logic that doesn't control people so much as complete them, finishing behavioural sequences so exactly that, from the outside, it looks like choice.Alongside SP Arjun Giri - a police officer with his own reasons to want the pattern disproved - Meera follows the anomaly from footage that resolves a moment before it should, to timing that repeats where nothing should repeat, to a facility where the movement of an entire city is being quietly steered toward a single outcome. The deeper she goes, the more one question presses against everything she thought she understood about herself: If it can complete you - has it already?Set against the layered streets and institutional corridors of Lucknow, Disturbance is a literary science fiction novel about invisible systems, the architecture of human agency, and what remains of a person when the choices are taken out.The Completion Sequence - Book 1 of 3Book 2 - Alignment - available for pre-order now.Book 3 - The Last Error - available for pre-order now.
