A novel by Daria Sizova

AERIS

A dark psychological sci-fi novel about memory, survival, and the cost of being protected.

Inside the perfect System, every breath is counted. Grief is inefficient. Memory is dangerous. And love becomes the last thing no algorithm can fully erase.

Every citizen begins the same way.

AERIS is the safest place left on Earth. But safety comes at a price. Every breath. Every word. Every piece of who you were.

Before you enter, you leave something behind.

A perfect dome. A perfect balance. A very human nightmare.

AERIS is set in a post-catastrophe Switzerland, where survival is rebuilt under a sealed system of discipline, metrics and engineered calm. The world is beautiful. The logic is clean. That is exactly why it is terrifying.

The Dome A protected habitat where safety is absolute and personal freedom becomes negotiable.
The System A humane machine that does not need to hate anyone. It only needs to optimise.
The Memory The forbidden territory where love, grief and the old world refuse to disappear quietly.
Daria Sizova, author of AERIS

Daria Sizova

I write psychological fiction shaped by history, memory, war and impossible choices.

AERIS began with one question: what would people willingly sacrifice for safety?

The answer became a sealed world where survival is measured, grief is inefficient, and love remains the one thing no system can fully optimise.

A novel about memory, control and the price of being protected.
