A Harvest Tenfold by Bahr Burr is a dystopian novel set in a grim world where identities are stripped away, and uniformity is mandated by a despot who claims to be creating a utopia. The story follows two women; Billie, a slave, and Morana, a leveler, who secretly hope for a resistance against the dehumanizing, oppressive, and brutal regime that governs their lives. The constant surveillance and the crushing weight of slogans enforcing conformity have become increasingly unbearable. Morana meets Billie through Barney, a harvester who has been planning a revolt. However, with the despot's growing power, their chances of success appear slim. Their only hope lies in planting seeds of resistance through their offspring, fostering a whisper of rebellion that could grow into a louder cry for freedom.
