The Shepherd's Palace is a science fiction novel that takes place in a dystopian world. The story centers around the concept of superior gene screening. The narrator, known as the Professor, tells the story in a non-linear and subjective way, without following a continuous timeline. The Professor is an executive in charge of an organization that governs a global system during his time. Throughout the book, various issues are explored, including media control, fake pandemics, unclear origins of earthquakes, public opinion control, and the assassination of famous individuals. The book challenges the fundamental concepts of love, death, commitment, and life repeatedly in a post-apocalyptic world where everyone is struggling to survive. The Professor, a respected biologist, experiences a mental breakdown while implementing the survival project of the superior gene. The story begins with order but ends with chaos and anarchy. Set in a world controlled by an unknown system that sends ambassadors to implement its projects, The Shepherd's Palace is a dark and shocking narrative. The novel has been banned in Iran and has not been published in Persian in its hometown. However, it has been published in Persian by a Norwegian publication called Aftab Publication, which is uncensored.
