The Mount by Carol Emshwiller explores a dystopian world where humans are ruled by intelligent horses. In this society, women are captured and confined to serve the horses, who have taken on a controlling role over humanity. The protagonist, a woman named "the Girl," navigates this oppressive environment, grappling with her desire for freedom and the complex dynamics between humans and their equine overlords. As she forms bonds with both captors and fellow captives, the narrative delves into themes of power, adaptation, and the search for identity in a world turned upside down.
