Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A haunting dystopian science-fiction novel about identity, connection, and what it means to become human.In a future ruled by corporations and contracts, where employment determines housing, security, and survival, nineteen-year-old Lilly Case has learned how to live quietly. She keeps her head down, does her job, and remains close to the two constants in her life: her father, Jack, and his greatest creation, a prototype Droid named Satoshi.Satoshi was built to learn. To adapt. To protect.But when an attack forces him to protect Lilly with a level of violence his programming should never have allowed, one impossible question changes everything: Did Satoshi malfunction, or did he choose?The answer places him at the center of a growing public and corporate crisis. Thomas Industries sees a prototype it can contain. The public sees a machine that has become dangerous. Jack sees the culmination of a lifetime's work.Lilly sees someone she has known nearly all her life.As scrutiny closes around them, Lilly is forced to confront her fractured family, the cost of the world her father helped build, and what Satoshi has become through years of memory, experience, and choice. Because if a machine can remember, fear, care, and decide for itself, then calling him property becomes increasingly difficult.And if his feelings were learned rather than programmed, perhaps artificial never meant unreal.Emotionally driven and philosophical at its core, The Blue Rose explores personhood, memory, autonomy, family, and the quiet rebellion of choosing empathy in a world built around ownership and control.The Blue Rose is the debut novel of Farosia Lilinaris.
