Description
In an alternate-history Belgian Congo shaped by steampunk ingenuity and faint, uncanny magic, a small group of visionaries attempts to build a utopian community—one that challenges the assumptions of empire and the machinery of exploitation. Told through the shifting perspectives of multiple characters over more than two decades, the novel traces how ideals are tested by power, labor, race, gender, and the everyday compromises required to keep a “better world” alive. As the community grows and fractures under pressure, its residents confront the moral cost of progress and the question of who gets to define freedom. With Nisi Shawl’s character-driven, socially incisive storytelling, *Everfair* blends speculative wonder with a sharp, human focus on justice—leading to a resonant reckoning in the shadow of World War I.
