Unbroken Harmony
by Zara al-Mansour
In the transparent city of Unison, where harmony is enforced and individuality suppressed, engineer Ethan struggles with loss and a growing sense of disillusionment. When he's given an experimental device to find a new partner, he's thrust into a world of hidden rebellions and dangerous secrets. As Ethan navigates a society where every emotion is monitored and relationships are algorithmically determined, he must choose between the comfort of conformity and the risk of true connection. With echoes of "1984" and "Brave New World," "Unbroken Harmony" explores themes of free will, grief, and the human need for authentic bonds in a world obsessed with perfection. This gripping dystopian tale challenges readers to question the price of harmony and the value of individual choice in a society that promises utopia but delivers uniformity. Will Ethan find the courage to break free from the symphony of Unison, or will he be forever silenced in the name of social harmony?
