About the Book
What if speaking became a privilege, not a right?
In a near-future world governed by silence, every word you utter drains from your limited daily speech credit. Say too much, and you’ll face exile. Say too little, and you risk invisibility.
“Speech Credit” is a haunting short novel that explores humanity’s reliance on speech, the value of silence, and the consequences of taking communication for granted. Through the eyes of a man who begins to question this system, the story unravels into a philosophical mystery — one where language, freedom, and identity collide.
This is a chilling, thought-provoking allegory for our times, perfect for fans of Black Mirror, 1984, and The Handmaid’s Tale.
