What if the moment that shaped our entire way of life happened quietly, before dawn—someone putting up a simple fence, dividing shared land forever? Meet Kira, waking in her ancient village to find the common fields now suddenly closed off. Meet Elena, centuries later, standing on a bustling Barcelona street, staring at screens full of private data, and wondering how the digital age created invisible walls around our voices.
The Five Fractures is a narrative-driven exploration of how the world we share was gradually taken away—not by accident, but by deliberate design. It journeys through five powerful historical shifts, each told through vivid, emotionally gripping stories: farmers who lost their communal pastures, city-dwellers cut off from vital resources, workers who fought for seats at tables dominated by others, and digital-age dreamers who face barriers they never anticipated.
This book blends immersive storytelling with insightful connections—revealing that the fences around fields and the firewalls around information share a common origin. You don't need to know history or sociology to enjoy it, just a love for stories and curiosity about how we got here.
If you're passionate about uncovering hidden histories, care deeply about justice and fairness, or simply love a compelling story full of characters you’ll connect with, I'd be honored to have your feedback as a beta reader.
What I'm seeking:
Honest reactions about how clearly and emotionally each story resonates.
Feedback on pacing, clarity, and character engagement.
Your insight into how well historical moments feel relevant and vivid.
If you’d like an early peek at The Five Fractures (~80k words, novel length), please comment below or send me a direct message. Your feedback will help shape this book into something special. I genuinely can't wait to hear your thoughts.
Thanks for considering joining me on this journey! Warm regards, Orin
