Description

This collection of four provocative science-fiction novellas examines the forces shaping a near-future America, where technology, corporate power, and economic inequality determine who gets to live freely—and who is left behind. Across stories of locked-down appliances, compromised superheroes, desperate patients, and communities confronting crisis, ordinary people push back against systems designed to control them. Cory Doctorow blends sharp social commentary with fast-paced speculative storytelling, exploring immigration, healthcare, policing, surveillance, resistance, and the tension between individual survival and collective action. Timely and unsettling, these interconnected visions ask what radical change might look like when the future arrives before society is ready.
