The Variable

di Stevan Muller (Autore)

Arie HAC, 2026

In the neon-drenched sprawl of Glassway, power is measured by territory, silence is a weapon, and neutrality is a myth. Gangs rule the streets, hidden networks manipulate outcomes, and an organization called Redwater stands in the middle—trying to protect civilians in a city that punishes restraint. Kai Viren is one of Redwater's best. Not because he is the strongest, but because he believes lines still matter—between violence and protection, control and care. When a single failure shatters that belief, Kai is pulled into the shadows of Glassway, recruited by forces that don't want loyalty, only efficiency. As gang wars escalate and the city fractures, Kai disappears from every side—becoming neither enforcer nor ruler, but something unpredictable. A presence that interrupts violence without claiming power. A human variable no system can fully control. While Redwater redefines its purpose and the city struggles to remember who it exists for, Glassway is forced to confront a quiet truth: survival does not always come from dominance or order—but from choosing people over control. The Variable is an urban futuristic novel about invisibility and impact, about refusing ownership in a world obsessed with it, and about how a single human decision can change a city—without ever trying to rule it.
