“To see a physical book at all, much less lying face down on the sidewalk, was unusual enough to catch Mira’s attention, if only because the overlay projected through her glasses was, at that moment, playing an ad for a virtual vacation she already knew her family couldn’t afford.”
The Young Luddites is a serialized speculative fiction novel about finding a way back to humanity while exploring the world that took it away.
The first 11 chapters linked in the table of contents:
The Good Captain, a serialised comic novel set in the days of sail. The captain is the inventor of the first ever bathysphere and carries the young bride-to-be of the ship-owner to his home on one of the volcanic islands in the Azores. Complications naturally ensure. https://edypalman.substack.com/
Can we use Bookfunnel links? (Subscribing is an option, not a requirement). I just like it to hand out my stories because I use my substack for my behind-the-scenes commentary.
Great question! If subscribing isn't required, a bookfunnel link is totally fine. The goal for the pitch is to share without an ask for the readers, no matter the platform. Bookfunnel is great!
When relationships with AI companions become commonplace, will they go through the same phases as all-human ones? If it's true love, does it really matter that one of you is owned by a corporation?
Chapter 10 of Inference where we explore a digital world that AIs have created for themselves to keep the Idle at bay.
(Bonus - every chapter is grounded in epigraphs of real world AI news and protags, who are all AIs, deal with the same shifting by the second realities that we face as the Human-AI world emerges)
In an unnamed, plague-stricken city, a dead cart man makes his rounds, gathering the dead for the burn fields.
Thematically it shares DNA with three other stories - Pick 'em Up, Drop 'em Off • The Gravedigger's Waltz • Processing (unreleased).
"Postcards From The End Of The World" is short, character-driven anthology fiction set in a post-apocalyptic United States. Each vignette focuses on a different character from various points on the collapse timeline.
So, this is a story you can truly understand only if you're well-versed in literature. I'm not presenting it as a chance to belittle people, but rather, as a "friendly" challenge for them to see how far they can go before saying, "Okay, that was too much." Enjoy!
