Seven Surrenders
In a future where global travel is free and basic needs are met by automation, society is structured around seven Hives, each with distinct philosophies. Gendered language is archaic, and religious gatherings are forbidden. However, this seemingly utopian order is on the brink of collapse due to human conspiracy and the emergence of Bridger, a child with the power to bring inanimate objects to life.
