Show HN: I worked on a sci-fi book for the 2025

#1
Just about a year ago, the concept for a sci-fi book popped into my head. I instantly knew I have to see it through despite not having any writing experience (and a pretty demanding job). Over 2025, I attended writer circles, improved my writing, and structured the story. Here is the first chapter. I hope you enjoy it :)

The thermostat-as-control-metaphor works. Nilu can't fix anything that matters so she hyperfocuses on the one lock she might pick.

Tantric Firewalk scene landed—two guys arguing about whose hand crossed the threshold first to avoid winning a prize is genuinely funny.

"To tell you the truth" as her lying tell is a nice touch.

Sticky note hook got me. I'll read chapter 2.
