The Porcelain Code

In the immaculate towers of Haesong, where hand-poured lattes and silk wraps define status, election lawyer Min-jun discovers that the nation’s voting registries are padded with genetically engineered “Dolls”—beings bred for beauty and servitude. When a prototype Doll escapes a clandestine biotech lab, she carries a cellular memory of every lawmaker who exploited her kind. As Min-jun unravels the vote fraud behind a landmark constitutional case, he finds that the polished veneer of modern civilization is held together by the stolen labor and stolen ballots of those built to be invisible.
