The Shadow Zone

When everything feels real – but nothing is true. Leena lives her life inside The Haven – a digital reality designed to optimize emotions, relationships, and well-being. Everything is smooth, harmonious, and meticulously analyzed. But beneath the perfect simulations and algorithmic matches, something begins to slip. A sensation. A flaw in the system. A feeling that doesn’t belong. When Leena discovers an unauthorized zone – an emotional fracture in the illusion – she’s forced to ask questions she’s never dared to ask before. What is real? What is programmed? And who is Sera – her best friend, and maybe something more – really? The Shadow Zone is a sensual and thought-provoking story about love, control, and the longing for true connection in a world where everything can be simulated. Written in collaboration with artificial intelligence, it explores a timely question: What happens when we let machines help us understand what it means to be human?
