Unworthy: A Dystopian Novel of Surveillance and Control

Quinta Voss survived the dig and learned the truth about her father's death, only to be reclassified by the colony AI. She made a bargain: stay quiet. Stay useful. Stay alive. Until a young boy arrives at her clinic with the same symptoms that killed his grandfather - a man who believed Sector Four was making him sick. Valence refuses to investigate, and Quinta knows better than to draw attention. But she can't ignore a child's suffering just to protect her own standing. Sector four has been blockaded since the dig. The only person who can get Quinta inside is Kellan - whose retinal implant marks him as a walking surveillance risk by neighbors who no longer trust him. The deeper they go, the clearer the truth becomes: You don't get reclassified for what you've done. You get reclassified for what you might become. And in a colony where survival depends on staying invisible, Quinta has just made herself impossible to ignore.
