Description
Vera Elpis is a quiet, 30-something single woman with a desk job, two friends, and a cozy apartment. On the surface, her life is beautiful. Children adore her, her inheritance sustains her, and she is safe. The main obstacles to her happiness are her unexplained infertility and the anger she feels at the callous chaos of the world around her.
One day, when she is pregnant with her baby, those things won’t matter. Everything will be perfect.
In the lonely monotony of modern life, Vera fails to appreciate her own peculiarity. What happened before she moved to this apartment? How does she always know the weather forecast? And why doesn’t her cousin Jennifer, an executive at a secretive tech firm, trust her?
THE CONTROL PROBLEM tells of a woman who learns she is less than she thought and more than she realized. Who will she be when her goal is lost? What path will she take?
Advance Praise
A sleek, absorbing tale of motherhood, feminism, and the potential dangers of technology... [with] a gleefully dizzying final act that, while providing closure, is open to interpretation. -Kirkus Reviews
Libraries and readers looking for a blend of women's literature, hard sci-fi, and social examination will find Vera's story in The Control Problem to be enlightening, eerily akin to some forms of modern angst, and impossible to put down. - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
