The Measure - Nikki Erlick Vivat (9786171707078)

One seemingly ordinary day, you wake up, drink coffee, and go about your business. But beyond your doorstep lies a strange wooden box. It contains your fate: the answer to how much time you have left to live.

From upscale suburban homes to tents in deserts, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is gripped by collective panic. Where did they come from? What do they mean? Can they deliver on their promises?

As society divides and unites, filled with biases and seeking answers, each person faces a troubling choice: do they want to know how much time they have left? And what will they do with this knowledge?

“The Measure” portrays the dawn of a new world through a group of eight characters, whose decisions and fates intertwine: best friends united by common dreams; pen pals finding solace in each other; a couple believing they have all the time in the world; a doctor unable to save himself, and a politician whose box becomes a 'powder keg' changing everything.
