Art of FACELESS is publishing Mar00n
A woman's consciousness has been "preserved" by a company that promised her immortality. What she gets instead is something closer to indentured servitude inside her own mind — and a system that has learned to turn human suffering into a resource it can sell.
Today Art of FACELESS is proud to formally announce our newest title under the imprint: MarOOn, a debut work of dystopian fiction by V. Tracer.
"Attention is a finite resource of the self. Once allowed to become a monetized byproduct, you are then no longer a thinker. You're a data conduit... Until you become marooned."
That line is the whole book in miniature. We think it's one of the sharpest openings we've published, and we want it in as many hands as possible.
What MarOOn is about (no spoilers):
A woman's consciousness has been "preserved" by a company that promised her immortality. What she gets instead is something closer to indentured servitude inside her own mind — and a system that has learned to turn human suffering into a resource it can sell. MarOOn is a story about what happens when the attention economy stops being a metaphor.
Over the coming weeks we'll be sharing character teasers, the opening pages, and the full case for why we think this book matters — all without giving away what happens inside it.
