Úrscéal suite i bhfo-ionad sonraí, i nDoire, ar imeall na hImpireachta, sa bhliain 2584. Na rudaí is tábhachtaí san Impireacht ná dualgas agus dílseacht. Níl an focal “rogha” san Empirish, teanga na hImpireachta. Tagann Diarmuid and Gráinne, oifigigh mheánchéime de chuid na hImpireachta, leis an fho-ionad a dhruidim agus an t-oifigeach bunchéime, Makaronik, a thabhairt ar ais go dtí an Lár leo. Sin an dualgas s’acu. Níl aon rogha acu. Ach diúltaíonn Makaronik dul leo. An bhfuil an rogha aici?
A novel set in the year 2584, in a data subcentre in Derry, on the outskirts of the Empire. Duty and loyalty are valued above all else in the Empire. The word ‘choice’ does not exist in Empirish, the language of the Empire. Diarmuid and Gráinne, two middle-grade officers of the Empire, are sent to close the data subcentre and to bring the entry-level officer, Makaronik, back to the Centre. That’s their duty. They don’t have a choice. But Makaronik refuses to go with them. Does she have a choice?
