Samenvatting:
In 2142, reproduction isn’t natural anymore.
It’s controlled.
The system was designed to be perfect.
But there’s one terrifying truth no one is supposed to discover: it’s being manipulated.
And men are being systematically erased.
Dart Maylord, an endocrinology researcher in the Department of Reproduction, has spent her life helping maintain the carefully engineered future. She’s never questioned the rules that govern society—or the wall that separates women from the men beyond it.
Until one crosses that wall.
Alex Smern isn’t the violent enemy Dart was raised to fear. He’s curious. Intelligent. And he’s asking dangerous questions about the system that creates every new human life.
When Dart uncovers evidence about who is tampering with the genetic balance of humanity, she’s forced to confront a chilling possibility: the future of the species is being decided behind closed doors.
Exposing the truth could shatter the fragile order holding society together — and destroy the people she loves.
But staying silent may mean the end of half of humanity.
Silent Y is a provocative dystopian novel about science, power, and the dangerous consequences of control.
Perfect for readers who enjoy dystopian science fiction like The Handmaid’s Tale.
