Four novellas converge across nearly a century in one accelerating timeline.
In 2026 San Francisco, two venture capitalists are sent back in time to 1955 to test the selective mythology of the era against its real limitations. Elsewhere in time and space, invisible technological disruptions upend societal hierarchies long assumed to be unassailable. A cascade of automation and shifting socioeconomic incentives remakes the social contract across continents. A defrauded nobody turns despair into a campaign to remake the entire system. And in 2042 the threads converge in a high-tech future that is dazzling, frightening, and possibly supernatural all at once.
Ambitious, multi-genre, non-linear, and profoundly current, Acceleration merges literary fiction's psychological precision seamlessly with futurism of the highest rigor. Meant to be read in sequence, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
