Samenvatting:

In a future where rain has become a manufactured luxury and water is currency, the gleaming spires of Illusion City rise above the parched wastes of the Ut-Jal-Ka Desert. Built and ruled by the monolithic Illusion Corporation, the metropolis is a place where alcohol flows like a flood while the slums beyond its walls trade human dignity for a single drop of water.

Sovan Kapuria — author of The YakshaPuran Series — returns with a scorched, plausible dystopia where corporate autocracy has replaced climate, and the political machinations between the Illusion Corporation and the neighbouring Mega City play out in blood, betrayal, and hard-won resilience.

Illustrated by Aaratrika Ghosh and steeped in the visual texture of an India that could be, Illusion City is at once a thriller, a warning, and a meditation: how much power should we surrender to those who control our resources, and how far would we go to reclaim our future when the systems meant to protect us turn predatory?

A taut, unsettling speculative novel for readers of dystopian fiction, climate thrillers, and corporate-power parables.
