New Sci-Fi Novella "The Void" Explores Memory, Surveillance, and Resistance in a Dystopian Future

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - June 5, 2025 - PRLog -- Award-winning creative Ian Faith announces the release of his highly anticipated sci-fi novella, The Void, a poetic and psychologically charged journey through a fractured world where memory is currency and truth is under siege.

Set in the aftermath of the Unity War, The Void thrusts readers into a society split between the artificially illuminated Higher Lands—reserved for the elite—and the shadowed, scattered townships of the lower orders. Here, the only connection between worlds is the Light Ways: shimmering, thought-driven transit lines that test the will of all who dare to cross.

At the heart of the story is Dream Child, a Dream Analyst, preacher, and poet, whose unique sensitivity to the regime's manipulation of history and identity makes him both a target and a quiet rebel. Alongside his wife, Tahala-Lan—a justice seeker haunted by the war's atrocities—Dream Child navigates a landscape where dreams are monitored, memories are fragmented, and the cost of truth is dangerously high.

The novella's world is vividly realized: six enigmatic, house-shaped towns rise from the Lower Lands, their emerald windows glowing against the darkness, while Centers buzz with futuristic entertainment, neural games, and the ever-present hum of surveillance. As people begin to vanish from existence, Dream Child and Tahala-Lan fight to preserve reality and love in a society determined to erase both.

The Void (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBH4XWG9) weaves together themes of surveillance, resistance, and the unbreakable power of memory, offering a meditation on love, loss, and the struggle for authentic existence. With its blend of poetic language, dystopian world-building, and psychological tension, Faith's novella is a must-read for fans of speculative fiction and literary sci-fi.
