The doors you mark are your own
Book • 2015
The Doors You Mark Are Your Own is the first book in the Joshua City Trilogy, a philosophical and genre-blending novel set in a dystopian future where Joshua City is one of seven city-states struggling with water scarcity and authoritarian rule.
The story is presented as a 'translation' of a history written by the fictional Aleksandr Tuvim, a poet imprisoned for conspiracy, with metafictional footnotes by the real authors.
The novel explores themes of revolution, the nature of good and evil, and the tension between individual creativity and ideological power, all within a richly imagined world that recalls classics like Dune and Foundation.
With complex plotting, extensive world-building, and a narrative that blurs the line between history and fiction, the book offers both a gripping story and a meditation on societal struggle and human resilience.
