Into the book
Oemur's mother made a strange suggestion.
It wasn't for nothing that he asked for my cell phone number.
He sensed that I was desperate.
At first, I thought the lady liked me and wanted to help me.
It was such a naive thought.
Mrs. Seher offered to keep an eye on Omur and give him money in return for telling her secrets.
Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach, but strangely enough, the words keep going around in my head.
You can buy new uniforms, stock the fridge with food, and get some missing books.


The fact that I live in the Orange Zone is like something etched on my forehead.
Or maybe it's etched into your skin.
Wherever we go, we shine like orange neon lights.


"Speaking of that app, what do you think of 'Pyon'? It feels exactly like a 'surveillance service.'
“It’s like a chess piece secretly controlled by you, or like an AI soldier you created.” “Pyon… … .
“It’s the weakest piece in chess, but it moves the most.” “That’s right.
Even though she may seem insignificant at first, she eventually transforms into a queen.
“It may seem like nothing special on the surface, but in the end, it could be Peyon who changes the game.”

Yasemin instinctively ran towards the green area.
Fear made me forget the pain in my feet.
The hem of the black trench coat of the person riding the motorcycle brushed past Yasemin.
The motorcycle skidded to a halt at the end of the road, at the border of the orange and green zones, just beneath the streetlights.
The motorcyclist waved a fluorescent stick high above his silver helmet.
It was the signal to start the performance.

Publisher's Review
1.
Ethical Choices in a Digital Surveillance Society

A future city where AI dominates everyday life.
Yasemin, a poor refugee girl, makes an irreversible choice by selling her friend's private life.
However, when she learns the truth about the surveillance app called 'Pyon', she confronts her own mistakes and decides not to live as someone's tool any longer.
In an age where the lines between surveillance and protection are blurred, it questions what constitutes an ethical choice and shows how easily the technology we hold in our hands can infringe on our freedom.


2.
The rights and justice of youth that must be protected even in an absurd social structure.

The Green Zone, where the upper class lives, and the Orange Zone, where the poor live, are completely separated by a single road.
People in the green zone call surveillance 'safety', while people in the orange zone are constantly exposed to danger and crime without even receiving that surveillance.
Yasemin, a refugee who fled war and came to the city, has a dreamy spirit and brilliant talent, but the stigma of discrimination and prejudice leaves a lasting scar on her heart.
“The fact that I live in the Orange Zone is like something etched on my forehead.
Or maybe it's etched into your skin.
Wherever we go,
“It shines like an orange neon light.”_Main Text 013p
Dilgeg Guiney delicately portrays the reality of inequality experienced by marginalized youth in society through Yasemin's diary, using his inner voice.
But instead of letting her remain in misery, he helps Yasemin grow from a perpetrator who sold his friend's secrets to a courageous voice that exposes the truth.
This documentary chronicles Yasemin's journey from betrayal to solidarity and from fear to responsibility, as he exposes the injustice of the surveillance system and inspires solidarity among countless young people.
This work is a narrative of courage that can protect rights and dignity to the end in an absurd society where inequality and control are the norm.


3.
A lawyer's clear sense of problem and the power to keep you immersed until the end

In this work, lawyer Dilge Guiney meticulously explores the boundaries between technology and humanity, protection and control, rights and responsibilities, and questions the weight of ethical choices individuals must make in a surveillance society.
The author's legal insight permeates the work's settings and dialogue, sharply capturing legal contradictions and moral ironies.
Moreover, 『Pyon』 is a work that has the power to keep you immersed until the very end, while dealing with a clear sense of problem and a weighty subject.
In a narrative where surveillance and protection, justice and guilt intersect, the reader gradually gets closer to solving the final puzzle piece that will reveal one girl's fate, and ultimately, through subtle hints, the truth is revealed.
In the margins where the ending is not clearly revealed, the reader experiences the boundary between victim and perpetrator being broken down.
"Pyon" is a report on the ethics of modern society, combining the reasoning of a lawyer and the imagination of a storyteller, and a sharp question for all of us living in the surveillance age.

The question posed by 『Pyon』
* Can surveillance be called 'protection'?
* Where do human freedom and justice exist in a data society?
* Aren't we living as someone's piyon (words, tools)?
