Tobacco City
Tobacco City is a corporate dystopia by Brazilian author Ricardo Novaes-a brutal, elegant portrait of a company that doesn't merely employ people, but engineers their lives.
In a small town surrounded by endless tobacco fields, a colossal mirrored complex dominates the landscape and the local economy. Every "benefit," every rule, every promise of a better life comes with a cost-and the cost is always human. When Matheus Reis, a highly trained "sentiment analyst," enters the final stage of recruitment, he discovers that the interview is not a conversation. It is an audit: of ethics, of usefulness, of how far someone can go without flinching.
Inside Tobacco City, comfort is infrastructure-and infrastructure is control. The air is filtered. The silence is designed. The language is calibrated. Beyond the glass and steel, the outside world survives on rationed hope, intermittent funding, and rumors of what happens behind the gates.
A Brazilian 5-star hit, Tobacco City explores a world where empathy is treated as an error margin, people become inventory, and ambition is the most efficient form of surrender.
Dark, clinical, and relentlessly tense-ideal for readers of speculative fiction, corporate thrillers, and modern dystopias.
