Docile by K.M. Szpara
There is no consent under capitalism
In a dystopian future where debt is inherited and can be paid off by becoming a "Docile," a person who sells their servitude, the story follows Elisha Wilder, who enters into a contract to erase his family's crushing debt. He becomes the property of Alex Bishop, a wealthy and powerful heir to the pharmaceutical company that produces Dociline, a drug that ensures compliance. As Elisha navigates his new life, he grapples with the loss of autonomy and the moral complexities of his situation, while Alex confronts his own beliefs and the ethical implications of his family's legacy. Their evolving relationship challenges the boundaries of power, consent, and identity in a society where freedom comes at a steep price.
