In a distant future where humanity has achieved biological immortality and society is exclusively female, the world appears orderly, peaceful, and eternal - until unsettling anomalies begin to ripple through its perfection. People vanish without a trace. Digital backups fail. And something unthinkable is re-entering their serene lives: impermanence.
As Hawiya-MT, a curious office worker with a passion for forbidden ancient history, begins to unravel the mysteries of their true origins and a deepening societal crisis, she uncovers a forgotten truth: they are not as separate from the past - or from the extinct male "hominids" - as they've been taught to believe.
When selected for a controversial and secretive government project that could determine the fate of humanity, Hawiya must confront unsettling questions about memory, mortality, and what it means to be truly human. Her journey from suspicion to revelation propels this philosophical sci-fi tale into an urgent meditation on progress, identity, and the cost of forgetting where we came from.
Impermanence is a speculative novella of haunting beauty and provocative ideas, exploring a society that erased its own history - and what happens when one woman dares to remember.
