Does free will truly exist? Does man truly exist? Okky Madasari explores the seminal questions of mankind and humanity in her latest novel. A struggle arises between the two main characters, Sasana and Jaka Wani, in the search for freedom from all restraints - from those of the mind and body, to restraints imposed by tradition and family, society and religion, to economic domination and the shackles of authority.
