In a future Nairobi transformed by the miraculous, sentient silicate Silica-7, society has achieved a terrifying perfection. Crime is non-existent, and corruption is a memory-all thanks to The Glass, a near-godlike being who was once a boy named Makuti Mata. After a tragic accident fused his consciousness with the silicate, Makuti abandoned his humanity to become a crystalline arbiter of absolute transparency, capable of reading every mind and policing every thought.
But a perfect world has a high price. To maintain order, Makuti has corrected the minds of his closest friends and erased the memories of those he once loved, building an empire on the cold foundation of logic and fear.
Everything changes with the birth of his son, Kioo. Unlike the rest of the world, Kioo's mind is a luminous vault, opaque even to his father's godlike gaze. As Kioo grows, his instinctive empathy and a secret discovery in the depths of his father's vault spark a quiet insurrection.
The Glass Empire is a gripping saga of power, the weight of legacy, and the enduring strength of the human heart. It is the story of a son who must shine a light into the darkest corners of a perfect world to find the man buried beneath the glass.
