About Song of Kitaba:
What if the world knew your deepest secrets? What if the government had a monopoly on your thoughts?
In the City of Catonis, everything you think is written across giant screens for public scrutiny, and revolution can only be cloaked with meditation.
Things are the opposite in the Hollow Forest, where people are executed for writing, and ink is rationed for only the tribal council’s use. When the love of her life is killed, Kitaba Mahahara must leave her village and launch a cultural war for human freedom, but she’ll need help. Cybermonks, hactivists, and tech gurus will unite as tradition runs face to face with the oppression that passes for progress.
Two civilizations, one without self-expression, and one forced to reveal everything, will pave a new way for humanity, if they don’t destroy it first.
