The Offset
Calder Szewczak
It is your eighteenth birthday and one of your parents must die. You are the one who decides. Who do you pick?
In a dying world, the Offset ceremony has been introduced to counteract and discourage procreation. Miri, an anti-natalist, has run away from home. Days before their Offset ceremony where one of her mothers must be sentenced to death, she is brought back against her will following a run-in with the law. Which parent will Miri pick to die: the one she loves, or the one she hates who is working to save the world?
“Thrilling, terrifying and
beautifully crafted, The Offset
is the perfect science-fiction novel for our times. I devoured it.”
– Angela Saini, author of Inferior
"The Offset’s searing critique of anti-natalism
could do for eco-fascism what Ninety
Eighty-Four did for socialism and Brave New World did for
eugenics."
– Ken MacLeod, Prometheus
and BSFA Award-winning author of The
Corporation Wars series
