The Chosen

Alya Dimbu has lived invisible—an immigrant surviving at the edges of a world that refuses to see her. But when aliens make contact and launch a global ranking system that judges entire nations, Alya suddenly becomes the center of attention.

The world is watching.

Set in a parallel present where perception is power and goodness can be dangerous, The Chosen is a satirical, tender, and unflinching look at visibility, belonging, and what it means to be measured—by humanity, and something far beyond.
