About This Book

A fifteen-year-old recruit is sent into a heavily managed, futuristic war that blurs memory, purpose, and enemy identity. Early scenes show parental anxiety and a civic bureaucracy that promises peace while mobilizing youth. In the trenches he endures foggy recollections, ritualized discipline, mechanized bombardment, and a wounding that is treated with synthetic tissue replacements, all of which heighten a sense of dislocation. The narrative examines confusion about who or what is fought, the numbing routines of combat, and the psychological cost of a conflict conducted through technology and propaganda.
