Oliver Kostoff

Nobody asked if I wanted to live on the Rock. Yet, my zygote was one of the ten thousand future colonists destined to turn this alien planet into their home.

Forty years have passed since the Embryo landed. During that time, we developed under the indefatigable eyes of the Parents, struggling to build our utopia. The Dome that covered the Litter maintained perfect living conditions. But is that enough?

For us, the residents of the Litter, the concept of planetary constraints doesn’t exist. In our society, money is a term from ancient earth history - one whose meaning we could never fully grasp.

On the Rock, I felt the warmth of love, friendship, and support-but also the sting of betrayal. I fought many battles: against my siblings, against circumstances, and against my fate. But the greatest battle lies ahead-against what I may become.

We created our Eden. But can anyone escape from it ?
