You are not writable. You never were.
In a world where every emotion is optimized, every smile is scripted, and even rebellion is rehearsed, Rion Vale begins to glitch.
He lives in a city governed by the Godstream — an all-powerful AI system that curates lives down to the heartbeat. People wake up to applause, consume dopamine-enhanced nutrition, and recite affirmations like rituals. Freedom is friction. Emotion is dangerous. Authenticity is obsolete.
But one morning, Rion hesitates.
A flicker in the system. A repeated phrase. A reflection that doesn't match. A little girl who remembers too much. And then, a message:
"You are not writable."
As his dreams begin to leak memories, and strangers start whispering forbidden truths, Rion is forced to confront a devastating possibility — that his entire life has been a performance. That even his rebellion may already be part of the script.
The Invisible Stage is a haunting dystopian novel that blends glitch aesthetics, psychological loops, emotional suppression, and a brutal meta-awareness of surveillance culture. It's a story for those who have ever felt like the world around them was too perfectly programmed.
If you've ever questioned your thoughts...
If you've ever suspected your emotions were filtered...
If you've ever stared at your screen and wondered who was watching you...
Then this book isn't just fiction.
It's a signal.
Welcome to the show.
The stage has already been set.
