Moments from the Life, Death, and Thereafter of Elliott Grant

Not your everyday dystopian novel.

Elliott Grant leads a perfectly pleasant life. His government-assigned parents are nice enough, albeit a bit reserved. He’s landed his dream job as a social media Commenter for the prestigious Division-Y. His days are filled with so much stuff and things that he rarely has a moment to stop and wonder whether he even likes any of that stuff or those things.

Of course, it’s all a lie.

The truth is, Elliott unknowingly lives in a dystopian regime. The man who saved the earth from climate collapse has also damned it. And a new world order already exists—one free from the shackles of scarcity and labor—even if no one knows it.

Everything changes the day Elliott spots a sunflower growing on the sidewalk and takes it home. Not illegal exactly, just something that is never done. That small act of wonder sets off a chain reaction, sparking an uprising and thrusting Elliott into the heart of a rebellion.

As it turns out, toppling an empire is the easy part. The scariest day of Elliott’s life is the one that comes after—the day he realizes he actually has to live it.

MOMENTS is a haunting philosophical exploration of autonomy, belief, and the human need for meaning in a world designed to suppress it.
