Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What if peace could be engineered?In Propensity, a team of scientists and a military general pioneer a device capable of modulating human behaviour itself-tuning aggression, obedience, libido, faith, and risk tolerance like dials on a console. At first, the results seem miraculous: violence quelled, conflict dissolved, impulses muted. But as the technology scales from laboratories to prisons, to battlefields, to cities, the illusion of control begins to fracture.Blending speculative science with unsettling realism, the novel explores the collapse of autonomy under the weight of its own invention. Each vignette reveals another facet of a world caught between progress and paralysis, from sterile laboratories to hollowed cities, where willpower itself becomes the rarest resource.Both philosophical and visceral, Propensity confronts the reader with a simple question: if peace can be programmed, what remains of humanity when the code runs out?

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What if behavioural control worked too well.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. What if behavioural control worked too well?No riots. No rebellion. Just a flattening-of desire, of ambition, of will. Across homes, schools, and governments, people stop acting like themselves. Some forget how. Others forget why.The system wasn't designed to stay on this long. But now there's no off switch. And the researchers who built it? Most of them are zeroed.As one child begins to drift from baseline, an impossible question resurfaces: What does it mean to behave?Propensity is a speculative novella from Ridley Park, author of Hemo Sapiens and Sustenance. Known for fiction that slips through institutional cracks and ethical ambiguity, Park returns with a chilling vision of artificial peace and cognitive collapse.This is a psychological dystopia without explosions, a story where silence spreads faster than violence, where systems behave better than the people inside them.A tale of modulation, inertia, and the slow unravelling of human impulse-for readers who prefer their dystopias quiet and their horrors deeply plausible.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the New Mexico desert, a young woman finds a man lying naked by the roadside-unconscious, marked with strange geometric scars, and speaking in broken English that seems barely English at all.He has no name, no ID, and no idea where-or when-he is. As local police, doctors, and skeptics try to make sense of him, the mystery deepens: his dialect is subtly wrong, his memory fragmented, his body a map of cryptic etchings.Some think he's delusional. Others suspect something stranger. But what if he's telling the truth? What if he really is from the future-and simply can't explain it?Set against the stark beauty of the American Southwest, Temporal Babel is a speculative novel about language, memory, and the limits of understanding. As characters wrestle with communication breakdowns and the friction of belief, the story asks: how much of who we are is bound to when we are? And what happens when that bond is broken?For readers of Kazuo Ishiguro, Jeff VanderMeer, and Samuel R. Delany, this is a quiet, disorienting tale of alienation and fragile connection in a world that doesn't have a name for what's happened-yet. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In a town where nothing changes, something has.When Kenny stumbles upon a group of violet-skinned strangers camping behind his father's Iowa farm, he assumes they're nudists, cultists-maybe both. What he doesn't expect is a crashed ship, a dead shaman, or the realization that they're not from around here. Not this county. Not this planet.As the visitors-non-verbal, sexless, yet strangely human-begin integrating into rural rhythms, tensions rise. Secrets surface. Bodies pile. And nothing about gender, law, or language means what it used to.Sustenance is a novel of quiet horror and speculative contact. Told through dust-choked fields, small-town suspicion, and slow-burn dread, it explores what happens when the aliens aren't monsters-just misunderstood.For readers who enjoy: - Literary science fiction- Atmospheric horror without gore- Alien contact with philosophical bite- Midwestern gothic, rural existentialism, or quietly breaking down This item is printed on demand.

"Reader discretion is advised. Free will has been deprecated."Beginning as a bizarre experiment in behavioural modulation by way of neurochemical interference, Propensity unfolds into an eerie metaphor for the tricky road between control and conscience. Park's chapters are short and succinct, some barely a page long, in a staccato rhythm that mirrors the story's disintegration-scientists losing grip on their creation and a world learning the price of its "engineered peace." Phrases like "silence playing dress-up as danger" and "peace was never meant to be built, only remembered" linger like faint echoes long after you turn the page.-Reedsy Discovery Review This item is printed on demand.
