In a near-future United Kingdom ruled by Artificial Intelligence, biometrics, surveillance and silence, a Scottish village chooses to disappear rather than submit. The story spans 3 generations from 2032 to nearly 2100.

The Glendarragh Code is a lyrical, chilling dystopia about memory, resistance, and the quiet power of community. For readers of Orwell, Atwood, and those who fear the algorithm is already watching.

The new world didn’t arrive with violence.

It came wrapped in convenience.

There was no war. No great collapse. Only the quiet automation of power.

Biometric scans replaced trust. Algorithms replaced law.

One by one, lives were categorized, sorted, erased.

Now, the cities of the United Kingdom stand silent - optimized and obedient.

But in the far north of the Scottish Highlands, the hidden village of Glendarragh endures.

The Glendarragh Code is a towering, soul-rattling dystopian elegy—part oral history, part warning, part hymn.
