Trapped in a droid's body. Racing to save humanity. The story starts in Cyclopia-one of the planet's regions transformed into a continent-sized landfill.In this world, a fall should have killed nineteen-year-old Lucy. Instead, it broke her Skelyx-the device that controls every human emotion and memory.Now she feels what she was never meant to feel, remembers what was meant to stay buried, and is secretly no longer under control.When Lucy and her cohort are reassigned to Fields, she is devastated that her best friend 9 is condemned to stay in Cyclopia forever for the crime of being "too human."Away from 9, Lucy promises herself she'll get her out, but on her journey, she discovers a terrifying truth.In a society where droids rule, the only way to change their world is to infiltrate The Oracle, wear the enemy's face, and make an impossible choice, one that will determine the fate of two worlds.Is The Oracle already ruling our world? Kilex's story examines contemporary societal trends through the lens of ecological collapse, authoritarian control, and the dangers of unchecked AI. Erased will appeal to both young adult and adult readers drawn to dystopian science fiction. Sebastian hopes his story and its characters connect with readers emotionally, raising questions about the possibility of such a world and leaving this curiosity with them long after the book is closed.
