Set on the distant planet of Borthan, this thoughtful science fiction novel explores a society in which the use of the word “I” is forbidden and self-revelation is considered a profound social taboo. The story follows Kinnall Darival, a prince who begins to question the rigid customs of his world after encountering a substance that encourages uninhibited confession. As he records his own secret memoir, he embarks on a quiet but radical journey toward individuality and emotional honesty.
Robert Silverberg, one of the major voices of 20th-century science fiction, brings psychological depth and philosophical insight to this exploration of identity, conformity, and the power of language. Introspective and provocative, it will appeal to readers who enjoy character-driven speculative fiction that examines the structures shaping human connection.
