Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This thesis contains two parts: a craft paper on interiority and four chapters of a new adult dystopian fiction novel. The craft paper focuses on interiority by conveying the protagonist’s unique perspective of the novel’s world by analyzing two dystopian fiction novels, No Coincidence by Rafał Kosik and Thin Air by Richard K. Morgan. Hive City focuses on Monica, a gun-for-hire working to live up to the dream of the brother she killed, as she accepts a job to steal medical equipment from an intermediary that she doesn’t quite trust. Things go awry though when the equipment she’s expected to steal turns out to be a young girl named Lysander. Monica’s decision to help her draws the attention of Gentech Industrials, the largest corporation in Hive City, executive board, more specifically its CEO, Gideon Almasa, as the company mobilizes to take Lysander back by any means necessary. The chapters included are the first meeting between Monica and Lysander.
