About This Book

A young woman navigates a satiated, automated society where instant gridding and generous allowances remove the need to work, leaving social life reduced to collecting and petty routines. Married to a quarrelsome man whose bravado conceals insecurity, she grows increasingly restless and numb. An encounter with an idler who races a pre-grid car through empty city streets sparks her longing for risk and authentic sensation. The narrative traces her mounting dissatisfaction and search for purpose, contrasting the hollow comforts of mass abundance with a yearning for genuine experience and meaning.
