  • The Algorithm of Bliss
    (V-06: New York Modernism) Leo lived in a world of white noise and glass. In the New York of 2045, the city was no longer managed by mayors or councils, but by the Pulse—a city-wide operating system that optimized everything from traffic flow to the timing of a heartbeat. Leo was the man who wrote the Pulse's most critical update: the Desire-Map. The Desire-Map was a masterpiece of neural...

  • What I Heard
    ACT ONE The coffee house was on MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village, and it smelled of roasted beans and damp wool. Edward Hayes sat in the corner with a cup of black coffee he was not drinking and a man at the next table who was not a stranger but was about to become the most important person he had ever met. The man was bald and middle-aged and he had the kind of face that suggested a long...

  • The last light of New Carthage
    She came to him on a night like any other—fog pressing against the gas lamps of the city, tide grinding itself against the limestone cliffs below the harbor. But this night, Arthur Blackwood was not himself. He had been awake for three days and two nights, pacing the stone floor of his study at Blackwood Manor, surrounded by pages of calculations that no sane man would believe. Then she...

  • The Ledger Beneath
    =================== Act I: The Discovery The letter had been there for twenty years, wedged between two ledgers in the top drawer of Archibald's desk, wrapped in paper so yellow it had gone the colour of old bone. Cecilia found it while looking for the quarterly shipping manifests. She did not know what she was looking for, not exactly. She was looking for something that would justify the...

  • The Canvas of Scars
    In a sun-drenched studio in Montmartre, Julian lived in a world of cobalt blue and cadmium red. He had once been the darling of the Parisian art scene, known for his sweeping, athletic brushstrokes and his obsession with the human form in motion. Then came the accident—a fall from a scaffolding that had left him paralyzed from the waist down. For two years, Julian didn't touch a brush. He...

  • The Iron Apostle
    The air in Detroit, 1924, tasted of ozone and hot grease. Julian stood on the catwalk of the assembly line, his eyes scanning the rhythmic dance of the machines. To the other engineers, it was a marvel of efficiency. To Julian, it was a crime. He saw the men below—grey-faced, hollow-eyed, their movements synchronized not by skill, but by the relentless beat of the conveyor belt. They were not...

  • The Clock of Eternal Silence
    The fog of 1888 London did not merely cling to the cobblestones; it breathed, a sulfurous beast that swallowed the gaslights and the souls of men. Arthur Penhaligon lived in the marrow of this beast, in a workshop no larger than a coffin, where the air was thick with the scent of whale oil and oxidized brass. Arthur was a man of precision. His world was governed by the rhythmic heartbeat of a...

  • The patient from below
    Dr. Eleanor Hart had been coming to the Blackwood Institute for three weeks when she first heard the word transfiguration. The patient who said it was in Room 217—the highest security room on the fourth floor, where the walls were padded with beige fabric that had been stained by decades of fingerprints, heads thrown against them in moments of despair, and hands pressed flat in moments of...

  • The Glass Eyes of Detroit
    Raymond Cole had been unemployed for three years and four months. He had lost count around month eighteen but had started counting again because Tammy, his ex-wife, had said during their last argument that he had been doing nothing for longer than he could possibly have imagined, and Raymond, who was not a man given to self-reflection but who did have a certain stubbornness, had decided to...

  • THE PEOPLE'S ENGINE
    ### Act I: The Spark James Callahan first understood what engineering meant at the age of twelve, when he was sent into the depths of the Homestead Steel Plant to unclog a jammed conveyor belt that had brought the entire rolling mill to a halt. The foreman had given him a choice: crawl through the gap between two moving rollers, or watch his father lose a week's wages for the downtime. James...

  • THE SIGNAL FROM LILY BRENNAN
    The office was on State Street, third floor of a building that smelled of boiled cabbage and old plumbing and the faint, sweet-sour smell of whiskey that seeped up from the bar downstairs. It was a small office—just a desk, a chair, a filing cabinet that stuck when you pulled the second drawer, and a window that looked out over a brick wall so close I could touch it if I leaned far enough out...
