The Amanda Variable (Option Cycle)

⭐ The Amanda Variable
A Dystopian Sci-Fi Novel by Scott Eichinger
“They didn’t choose me because I was easy. They chose me because they had no idea what I’d become.”
— Amanda Cade-Irelan, Age 12

About the Book
In a future society ruled by compliance and control, Amanda Cade-Irelan is an anomaly—a child too curious, too emotionally aware, and far too brilliant to go unnoticed. Raised by loving adoptive parents who never intended to challenge the system, Amanda’s refusal to conform sparks a quiet rebellion that starts in the classroom and spirals into something far greater.
When the family is relocated to Sector 12—a utopian district built for innovation—they find themselves in a place where questions are both encouraged and dangerous. With allies forming, rivals rising, and the system watching closer than ever, Amanda becomes the catalyst for a growing division between those who protect the status quo... and those ready to shatter it.
As tensions mount and conflict ignites, Amanda must decide what she’s willing to risk to stay true to herself—and what it means to lead a revolution she never asked for.
