Overview

What if the end of the world arrived not with explosions, but with notifications? A blue checkmark on the wrong profile, a smart home that decides to evict you, a company chatting with an optimized version of yourself just to fire the real one. In Perfect Systems, R. M. Souza Neto brings together a collection of dystopian sci-fi stories set in the very near future-so close that you will recognize the app, the bank, the apartment complex, and the HR call. The gig economy, smart homes, ""affective"" AIs, productivity metrics, and social media become instruments of control, exclusion, and desire. Each story stands alone, yet they all orbit the same question: what does it mean to still be human when everything around you is designed to measure, sell, and-if necessary-replace you? Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, The Handmaid's Tale, and Tender Is the Flesh looking for a Brazilian, everyday take on dystopia-featuring accessible prose, acid humor, and just the right dose of emotional unease. If you have ever felt like just another data point in a spreadsheet, this book is for you. Read it, leave a review on Amazon, and help these system glitches escape the algorithm.
