Synopsis:

In the aftermath of widespread conflict, Utopia presents a carefully constructed facade of peace. This metropolis, a blend of human and bioroid populations, thrives under a veneer of societal harmony. However, beneath this calm exterior, underlying tensions simmer, threatening to disrupt the fragile equilibrium. Deunan Knute, a hardened veteran bearing the scars of past wars, arrives in Utopia. Unbeknownst to her, she is linked to a history that holds profound implications for humanity’s future. The narrative explores themes of societal integration, inherited trauma, and the uncertain path towards rebuilding after devastation. It offers a thoughtful examination of coexistence within a technologically advanced world, focusing on the personal impact of historical events and the weight of individual legacies.
