K.M. Szpara's Docile is a dark, dystopian "what-if" that takes the concept of modern capitalism to its eerie extreme. In this world, debtors sell themselves as "Dociles" to be used by the wealthy, and a young man agrees to a life of servitude to erase his family's debts. When he refuses to take the drug meant to "ease" a Docile's transition into servitude, Elisha's "owner" takes that as a horrifying challenge that will push Elisha to the edge.
