Climate Strange

by Ryan Ridge and Mel Bosworth

A hiker stumbles upon a secret waterfall in the woods. A desperate father tries to get his family to enjoy a game of Jenga. A housecleaning robot goes berserk. Miss Senior Massachusetts dances with an elephant. A clown cult comes to town. Dogs walk their owners. Everyone gets a popcorn machine. Cancer is cured by mistake. A sasquatch attempts to jump a canyon on a motorcycle. A neighbor blasts the ionosphere from his yard. Climate Strange is a cracked funhouse mirror with the shards fallen and reflecting all of the crazy wonders of the new now.

Jack & Emily by Brian Kiteley

Two young Americans meet by chance in a sun-cut village on the island of Crete in 1988, at the end of the cold war and the start of the age of terrorism. Jack is a CIA case officer, weary of his emotionally limited life and agency work. A poet and traveler, Emily has come to the end of a two-year odyssey around the Mediterranean, mourning her mother’s death. Jack’s most valued and deeply maddening asset is Ali, with a history of training foreign fighters for Osama bin Laden and an avowed double agent. Emily’s father, a British banker, Iran hand, and occasional spy who fought in Crete during the Second World War, surprises Emily by bringing to Crete his much younger second wife and their precocious five-year-old daughter. Complications follow. Jack & Emily is a spy novel, love story, and snapshot of a family saga worn about the edges.

LucidDream™ by Brooks Hansen

Mid-this-century, Käthe Lurie will be a celebrated civil engineering wunderkind, credited with saving both Long Island and Nantucket from the sea. She will also be a gaming addict, hooked on the world’s most popular unregulated platform, LucidDream™.

On a three-day cross-country trip to meet her new investors, Käthe’s ‘habit’ will expose her most-prized avatar, Julian Maas, to a freedom-fighting femme fatale named Bel, who has somehow managed to outlive her own creator. A torrid affair ensues, fueled by deception and by the limitless possibilities of the ‘Dream. Set against the crumbling backdrop of Käthe’s journey through the once-United States, the contrast could not be more clear, or the conclusion more tempting. As California nears, Käthe will be forced to choose: whether to keep salvaging the world she lives in, or roll the dice and pioneer the next.

Shades of Huxley, Pynchon, and Le Guin, LucidDream™ is a dark, comical, hallucinogenic meditation on the moment where we find ourselves right now–stepping through the looking glass into a hybrid realm of cyber- and bio-technologies that may well save us yet, or spell the end of life as we know it.
