About This Book

A nineteen-year-old man raised in isolation navigates a future society where women's preferences dictate culture and a behavior-altering compound keeps men docile. State-sponsored television romances and legal duties enforce submissive roles and marriage markets commodify male worth, while mothers negotiate nuptial contracts. Because he is immune to the compound, the protagonist perceives the manipulations behind familial pampering and plans to exploit arranged marriage to regain agency and enact revenge. The narrative follows his disciplined routines, social rituals, and mounting resentment as he prepares to use expected matrimonial arrangements to challenge a system that discards men once they lose economic usefulness.
