01 / World premise

An anthology of plausible technological futures. Each story follows one possibility far enough to reveal what it changes in society, identity, intimacy and the living world.

This is not a single timeline. Every novel begins with a credible development, branches away from the present, then stays with the people who must live inside its consequences.
