CRN-45: The Human Paradox

By Ashfaq Ahmad

When a global catastrophe wipes out human memory, the world teeters on the edge of extinction. In the chaos that follows, a new system rises- one built not on democracy or freedom, but on absolute control, conditioning, and engineered stability.

Hunger disappears. Crime vanishes. Nature heals.

Human suffering is almost completely erased.

But so is choice.

Years later, a resistance emerges- not against cruelty, but against perfection itself. As the old order and the new collide, a dangerous question takes center stage: if humanity no longer struggles, does it remain human at all?

CRN-45: The Human Paradox is a thought-provoking science fiction novel that explores the tension between safety and freedom, comfort and purpose, control and evolution. Blending political philosophy, psychological conflict, and speculative science, the story challenges readers to confront humanity's deepest contradiction- its desire to eliminate suffering, even if that means losing what defines it.

This is not a tale of heroes and villains.

It is a confrontation between two visions of survival- where both sides may be right, and both may be fatally flawed.
