America is gone. Five centuries after the rise of Harold Vict, only one city remains. Its people live beneath a social order so complete that even language bends around the will of its creator. Kairo, a genetically engineered experimental subject, has never possessed an identity of his own. Evelyn Vict, daughter of the regime's leader, has spent her life surrendering hers. Together, they begin asking questions their changed culture was never meant to ask.
In a world where artificial intelligence manages society and truth is defined from above, a search for identity could become an act of treason. To Have an Identity is an intimate dystopian novel of ideas, part philosophical exploration, part character study, examining humanity, hierarchy, freedom, and the meaning of living in a reality shaped by a single ideology.
