The Other Gaze
Sci-Fi
Written by
Kristina KirilovaThe Other Gaze is a speculative novel exploring the “Great Switch”—a corporate neural leak that turns human desire on its head worldwide.
Every sexual orientation has inverted — the straight are now drawn to their own sex; the gay find themselves reaching in the opposite direction. As relationships mutate and institutions panic, longing itself becomes a biological hazard.
Across continents, the fallout is intimate and raw:
New York: Scientist Daniel Novák confesses he may have “killed love.”
Tokyo: Photographer Kaito finds his sensory lens slipping out of focus.
Istanbul: Comedian Aisha trades safe punchlines for the terror of being seen.
Thessaloniki: Student Katerina spirals into an all-consuming obsession with her literature professor, Despina Karali.
Blending high-concept crisis, dark academia, and literary drama, The Other Gaze turns global catastrophe into an existential mirror: When the rules of attraction are rewritten overnight, who are we beneath the performance?
