Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - THE SYSTEM WAS BUILT TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFEOlivia works inside the systems that keep people safe. Allocation, calibration, alignment. The processes are precise, humane, and trusted. No one is left behind. No harm is done. Not intentionally.When subtle irregularities begin to surface, when allocation errors appear and adjustments go unexplained, Olivia does what she has been trained to do. She observes. She records. She waits for correction.But care has its limits, and some outcomes resolve too cleanly.As the boundaries between protection and control begin to blur, Olivia must decide what responsibility looks like inside a system that insists it is already ethical.What follows is quiet. And far more dangerous.The Quiet Held is a restrained, unsettling novel about governance, consent, and the cost of believing that stability is the same as justice.Beneath three moons, a city survives by constant calibration.Gravity shifts without warning. Resources are rationed. Human lives are paired, assessed, and corrected in the name of stability. The Triune Council calls this care.Olivia has worked inside the system for years, analysing data, preventing failure before it becomes visible. Her life is calibrated. Her compliance is complete.Until she begins noticing patterns the system doesn't want her to see.Allocations shrink without announcement. Metrics shift without explanation. Corrections are applied and the record shows nothing wrong. The system is not malfunctioning. It is functioning exactly as designed.Olivia knows what she has seen.She is not sure how much longer she can pretend she has not.The system is patient.It is also watching.The Quiet Held is literary speculative fiction for readers of Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. Restrained prose. Steadily escalating tension. Short chapters. Moral complexity over spectacle.…
