The Social Clock

di Pavel Tablas (Autore)

Pavel Tablas, 2026

In the near future, humanity has solved its greatest health crisis by surrendering control of time. In the megacity of Neo-Geneva, the Social Clock Act regulates when citizens eat, sleep, and work. Metabolism is monitored. Night eating is a crime. Biological rhythms are enforced by the state in the name of public health. Dr. Elara Vance works the midnight shift at the city morgue. When the son of the powerful Chrono-Corp empire dies mysteriously at 3:14 AM, the case should be impossible. According to his data profile, he was perfectly synchronized with the system. But the body tells another story. As Elara uncovers a black-market substance known as Midnight Manna, she begins to unravel a conspiracy that reveals the darker truth behind the Social Clock: control of time means control of humanity itself. What follows is a struggle between biology and technology, between corporate power and human evolution, and between the artificial rhythms of civilization and the ancient clock of the sun. The Social Clock is a speculative science-fiction novella exploring chronobiology, metabolic control, and the price of surrendering human autonomy to algorithmic governance.
