We don't need other worlds. We need mirrors. A human needs a human. - Stanislaw Lem
Alex Kartashov and Alexandra Tayts write about technology that remembers, society that forgets, and people who keep being human while the world shifts under their feet.
Fifteen stories about a world just like ours, but not exactly. Your car's navigation starts quietly weeping instead of giving directions. Every bad memory can be erased. Children who've never seen daylight discuss the color of the sky. Words might stop working. Overall, weird stuff happens, but people of this world are just like us: they're afraid of shadows and don't notice the really scary stuff.
By turns funny, strange, and quietly unsettling, these stories sit somewhere between science fiction and magical realism-closer to Ted Chiang and Black Mirror than to space opera. Each one takes a single small change to the world and follows it to a place you won't expect. Perfect for readers who like their fiction smart, their futures unnervingly close, and their questions left open.
