In this sharp, satirical journey through Capitalism, Cartel, and Paradox,
Cormorant asks what happens when the language of freedom begins to disguise the habits of control.
What happens when many stalls become few.
When prices hum politely in tune.
When progress removes the very choices it promised to deliver.

The journey is accompanied by bold, Golden Age Advertising and Soviet inspired poster art;
part propaganda, part parody, and entirely suspicious of whispering suits.

With fable, wit, double meaning, and the occasional suspicious fishmonger, Cormorant explores the uncomfortable gap between what systems claim to do and what they quietly become.

Who is it for?

For readers who are curious about commerce.
For citizens puzzled by economics.
For those who want history without hostility.
For anyone asking how to understand buying without losing humility, humour, or hope.

Satire with a serious edge.
Economics without the lecture hall.
Social Critique that arrives carrying a small bucket of fish.

Because some fences do not look like fences.
Some cages are built from convenience.
Some monopolies wear several labels.
And some markets remain open long after choice has left the building.

Society, Systems, Seriously Reformed.

Do we really know that which we know?
