The Guilt

di Andreas (Autore)

Andrea's, 2026

What if guilt were no longer private— but engineered, harvested, and redistributed? In a city powered by remorse, guilt is no longer a feeling. It is infrastructure. Ethan Crowe is a senior designer in the Moral Engineering Division, where human suffering is transformed into clean, efficient energy. His job is not to torture, punish, or kill—but to design choices so devastating that no outcome leaves the soul intact. Every dilemma is calculated. Every consequence optimized. Someone must always lose something that cannot be recovered. When the system reaches its limits, Ethan is forced to confront an impossible truth: guilt is not a flaw in humanity—it is the cost of meaning. Remove it, and the world becomes frictionless, efficient… and empty. Preserve it, and suffering becomes endless, structured, and visible. As moral weight is redistributed across society, cities slow. Bodies endure. Decisions grow heavier. Humanity does not become better—but it becomes unable to ignore the damage it causes. The Guilt is a dark, philosophical work of speculative science fiction that explores responsibility, complicity, and the price of continuing to exist together. There are no pure heroes. No clean solutions. Only systems that function—and the lives consumed to keep them running. This is not a story about good and evil. It is a story about what happens when morality becomes architecture. For readers of Black Mirror, Never Let Me Go, and The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.
