About the book

After a great catastrophe, their world has shrunk to the Dome. Here everything is perfect: the air is clean, order is flawless, and every day is ruled by the system’s regulations. But sometimes cracks appear between these rules. And through them, a truth begins to seep—one no one was ever meant to see. Arden, Lyra, and Kai are just three among hundreds. They should be preparing for their “Graduation,” but instead they discover traces of something that should not exist in their world: system failures, distorted records, shadows behind the glass. The deeper they search for answers, the more it seems that reality itself is a trap—carefully constructed by someone unseen. And when the system turns against them, one question becomes impossible to ignore: is the world they live in truly safe?

    Hello. It turned out great. You took the overused theme of "closed dome + total control" and didn’t just retell the clichés, but made it atmospheric, tense, and with solid psychological depth. Arden, Lyra, and Kai feel alive, not like cardboard characters; their doubts and fear are genuinely palpable. I especially liked how you showed that the system isn’t just "evil," but rather soullessly efficient, which makes it even creepier. I’ve subscribed. I’d appreciate a subscription in return.

    I couldn't tear myself away from the book until I finished reading it. It has everything a book needs. I just really want a continuation!!! What awaits them on Earth...? And will they find their place and home...? But most importantly, the realization comes that the time is approaching when either people will control AI, or AI will control people...

    Tetiana KostyshynYes, you are 100% right, it resonates with a movie I watched a long time ago where robots started ruling the world. I'm glad you liked the book! Thank you for staying with the characters until the end)

    A captivating and unsettling story that’s hard to put down. The atmosphere of the perfect world under the Dome gradually cracks, and the tension builds with every page. The idea of doubting reality itself and choosing between a safe illusion and a dangerous truth is very gripping. After reading, you keep thinking for a long time: what if our world isn’t what it seems either? I’ve supported and subscribed, and if you’re interested, I invite you to visit my page as well.

    This is my first time reading sci-fi with artificial intelligence, and I’m amazed. It’s written very engagingly, with a well-thought-out plot and active development—there wasn’t a single moment where I got distracted by my own thoughts. I would have liked to get to know the characters better before the events started, because at some points I felt like I didn’t understand their logic and emotions, but with a bit more detailed backstory, that feeling would disappear, I think. I both love and hate open endings at the same time, because I’m so curious about what’s happening on Earth. Was the virus 100% a lie, or will they end up in another form of slavery? Who sent them into space, and for what real purpose? These questions will haunt me for a long time now, I need a sequel! Thank you to the author for an awesome story that I read practically in one breath. And inspiration for future works!

    Very intense... even too much, you keep waiting for the main characters to get out of trouble, but they face new and more difficulties. But that's exactly why I keep reading. It still holds me.

    Hello! Captivating story! I had many associations with our events—both modern and historical. I'm very curious to know what’s happening on Earth) I’m looking forward to the continuation) I have one remark: the phrase "lost his mind" is a literal translation from Russian, like "can’t bear this hellish torment anymore")) In Ukrainian, you could say: "went off the rails," "went crazy," "lost it," or "crossed the line.")
