Cruel

The world became a robotic, emotionless, problem-free existence achieved through memory-wiping technology that erased fear, betrayal, sadness, love, sweet and all bitter experiences, installing a programmed, smooth, and peaceful memory under Arthur Huxley's rule. Everything goes smoothly until Wyatt Calloway emerges as the knife to break Huxley's rule, uncovering the cruel and unforgivable truth behind the memory-wiping technology revealed by his future version.

It explores how people live without their past emotions, regrets, and examines the impact of technology on society.
