Description
What if peace could be engineered?In Propensity, a team of scientists and a military general pioneer a device capable of modulating human behaviour itself-tuning aggression, obedience, libido, faith, and risk tolerance like dials on a console. At first, the results seem miraculous: violence quelled, conflict dissolved, impulses muted. But as the technology scales from laboratories to prisons, to battlefields, to cities, the illusion of control begins to fracture.
Blending speculative science with unsettling realism, the novel explores the collapse of autonomy under the weight of its own invention. Each vignette reveals another facet of a world caught between progress and paralysis, from sterile laboratories to hollowed cities, where willpower itself becomes the rarest resource.
Both philosophical and visceral, Propensity confronts the reader with a simple question: if peace can be programmed, what remains of humanity when the code runs out?
