Worlds of Our Making
A literary near-future science-fiction novel about a city whose helpful systems have become the texture of ordinary life, and the older record beginning to show through.
Premise
When a system is built to make life easier, what does resistance even look like?
Elias Sayer feels the city before he understands it. Amina Khalid notices the small mismatches everyone else has learned to ignore: timing, reflections, shadows, and records that refuse to resolve cleanly.
