Wear Your Mask—in the smog-choked city of Einsam it’s not just a good idea, it’s the law.
Every aspect of life in the Great Society is regulated, your every action observed.
The only thoughts you can trust are your own.
Seventeen years of oppression boil in Evelyn’s mind and she’s desperate for a way out.
In an act of defiance, Evelyn breaks from routine and discovers a world of radicals and dissidents. Beliefs she thought immutable crumble away like ash.
Standing on the threshold between the world she’s always known and an uncertain path toward freedom, Evelyn must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to learn the truth about the Great Society.
Hi, I’m Gerald Lamb. I am a storyteller, filmmaker, historian, and occasional podcast host of Fiction Writer. I’ve been writing since I was a kid, using fiction to wrestle with life’s big questions and capture the small, human details that bring a story to life.
When I’m not writing, I’m often filming historical documentaries, exploring forgotten places, or wandering through archives in search of the next story. Whether it’s on the page, on screen, or through my podcast, my goal is the same: to tell stories that linger with you long after they’re over.
