America is gone. Five centuries after the rise of Harold Vict, only His family counts as human. Others are grown in laboratories on demand, to live without rights. Kairo, a genetically engineered experimental subject, has never possessed an identity of his own. He was designed by Evelyn Vict, daughter of the most powerful man in the world, who has spent her life surrendering her own identity. They attempt to survive in a society shaped around the ego of the man whose grip refuses to let go of America, even after the destruction of all the country stood for. Harold uses artificial intelligence to manage society and truth in His image, and to offend Him is an act of treason. To Have an Identity is an intimate dystopian novel that is part philosophical exploration, part character study, examining humanity, hierarchy, and freedom, in a society that serves only to enforce the will of its leader.
