Exchange – A Humazon Service
What if you could exchange your spouse as easily as a product?
Welcome to Humazon. In a world where relationships are transactional, Rhea and Aman discover that love, memories and even people can be replaced. As their choices unfold, one question remains:
If a better option is always available, when do you stop choosing?
A novel by Shabbir Sabuwala · Bigfoot Publications · First Edition, September 2026 · ISBN 978-93-6347-335-5 · MRP ₹499
The opposite of love isn’t hate… It’s evaluation!
Every exchange promises a better life…
Not every exchange leaves you with one!
A perfect marriage. A notification on a smart watch.
Aman has spent eight years becoming everything Rhea wanted. He learned her coffee, her poetry, her game of pool. From the outside their life looks exactly like the kind of relationship people envy.
Then one evening her watch lights up for a second: TRIAL ENDING · 06:00:00 REMAINING.
The search leads him to Humazon, a company that measures compatibility, scores partners and, for the right membership, offers an exchange. Aman is not walking into its glass tower to save his marriage. He is walking in to discover whether it has already ended.
Exchange – A Humazon Service is a thought-provoking exploration of love, choice and the consumerisation of human relationships.
Exchange is the story. Humazon is the world.
“We live in a world of endless choices. Better phones. Better jobs. Better homes. Better opportunities. With every swipe, click and recommendation, we are encouraged to believe that something better is always waiting just around the corner.
But what happens when that mind-set enters our relationships? What happens when people stop being people and start becoming options?”
Shabbir Sabuwala
The Exchange is not a story about technology. It is a story about choice. About identity. About the quiet cost of constantly searching for something better.
How much of our happiness comes from finding the right person, and how much comes from finally stopping the search?
“Nobody leaves because they found the wrong person. They leave because they imagine a better one.”
“Once a person becomes an option… love changes.”
“Efficiency was a terrible substitute for intimacy.”
“The moment you start comparing human beings… everybody eventually loses.”
“Better and enough are not the same thing.”
“The life you stop evaluating is the life you start living.”

A Short Film
Every story finds its own way of being told. The novel’s central idea inspired a short film adaptation exploring the same question: what if people could be exchanged for better versions of themselves?
The film brings this world to life through a different lens, with new interpretations, fresh perspectives and a cinematic experience of the concept.
