One Grain of Sand
“One Grain of Sand” is a speculative novel set in a climate-ravaged America where democracy has crumbled under corporate rule and engineered inequality.
Noah Harpster, a pickpocket sentenced to a brutal prison system, volunteers for a dangerous experimental procedure—one that could kill him, maim him… or grant him a second chance.
Emerging into a world fractured by failed genetic experiments and weaponized media, Noah finds himself entangled with a resistance movement branded as terrorism.
Guided by a surrogate father, falling for a visionary climatologist, and bonded to an exosuit that grants access to every signal, screen, and voice on Earth, Noah is forced to confront the machinery of power itself.
In a nation where rebellion is criminal, the public and the media they consume are one in the same, he must decide: is he just one grain of sand in the giant hourglass of life—or the one grain of sand that brings the gears of society’s machinations grinding to a halt?
