Dystopian

Beneath the Silent Ice
"Beneath the Silent Ice" In the waning days of the Arctic summer, when the sun hung low in the sky and the ice began to whisper its return, a team of scientists landed on Ellesmere Island for what was supposed to be a routine glaciological study. The lead researcher, Dr. Elara Mendez, had studied ancient ice cores for over a decade, trying to reconstruct the climate of Earth’s distant past. But this mission would mark something far more profound than she—or anyone—had expected.

Deciding that he must take a calculated risk, Nothaar stepped out from his hiding place and presented himself. He positioned his hands into the universal gesture of peace, demonstrating that he was not brandishing a weapon. After making a noise with his throat to ensure that the strangers would notice him and not be taken unawares, Nothaar began in the dialect he had heard from them, "Greetings be to you, fellow travelers. Me hear you speak Language of Children, too. You speak Language of Children good; me very impressed. Language of Children very difficult for people not children!"

The Warmth of Other Suns" by Isabel Wilkerson: In-depth Review
This masterpiece isn't just a history book—it's a symphony of human experiences that will leave you breathless, angry, hopeful, and profoundly moved, sometimes all within the same chapter.

Chapter 01 | Starbuilders
Nothaar Akii had left the village near the southern edge of the world tardier in the spring than he would have preferred. Over the long, dark, and cold season, the settlement's Keeper, Baubu Yoordi, had finally succumbed to his advanced age in the middle of his eighty-third winter. While Nothaar had originally found the geriatric man to be spritely and full of life, spending more time with Baubu had revealed how precarious his health situation really was, and how scared he was for his people's future. It seemed like all his actions were an intentional feint, trying to manipulate me into staying and taking over for him, Nothaar divisively thought as he continued his lonely trek through the now fully blooming woods. He even waited to die until he met me, using his passing to the next world as a way to get me to supersede him in this one!

Into The Grey
He woke, and it seemed a bit dark; maybe he was early, or it was cloudy outside. He looked at his alarm clock, and it was blank. There must have been a power cut, but the battery should have kicked in. Maybe that needed replacing, whatever.

Prelude III | Starbuilders
After arriving back at the village, Nothaar and Baubu retired to the older man's hut. There, Baubu's assistants had kept the fires burning while they were away; thus, it was actually quite comfortable inside. Nothaar was amazed at the ingenuity that went into insulating the building to keep so much heat in the interior while letting all the smoke out. Sweating from their vigorous walk, Nothaar was quick to shed his warm layers. Still, the cold felt like it had seeped as deep as his organs and was stubbornly refusing to allow his internal body temperature to return to its expected normal level.

The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer: In-depth Review
Have you ever caught yourself having a full-blown argument with the voice in your head?
