About This Book

A closed-generation spaceship society has developed a rigid caste system centered on mutants and advanced mental sciences that can project and replay three-dimensional dream recordings. A non-mutant hydroponics bio-technician, troubled by a recurring dream in which he appears as a mutant alongside a woman and a mysterious humming device under concentric bands of color, submits the recording to psych-technicians. The interpreted dream intertwines personal anxieties with broader social tensions about engineered mutations and an impending plan to challenge the Mutant-makers, exploring memory, identity, and the limits of revolt within an insular culture.
