In a world where love is a crime, one forbidden connection dares to change everything
A feminist dystopian novel for adults about forbidden love under a totalitarian regime—ideal for readers of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, Octavia Butler, and Ursula K. Le Guin. The New Eve blends dystopian romance books with LGBTQ dystopian fiction, gender identity sci fi, and surveillance state fiction to ask what we’re willing to become for the people we love.
When love is a crime and bodies are battlegrounds, two souls risk everything to reunite—even if it means erasing who they were to become who they must be. In a future where men and women live in enforced segregation, reproduction is mechanized, and attachment is illegal, Adam and Maneki commit the ultimate transgression: they fall in love.
The androgynous rulers’ crackdown shatters their world, sending them to rehabilitation camps that weaponize hormones, memory, and ideology. To survive, each must choose: surrender the self—or fight for a connection the state insists cannot exist.
