Two Short Stories

Two stories set in the year 2045 are about a day in the life of characters on opposite sides of the world. The future is described with poetic language that shows artificial consciousness at its centre, yet also how humans relate, love, and interact.

A Day in the Life of Nadiya


The future unfolds close to a small remote Pacific island as Nadiya, a survivor of one of the most brutal conflicts of the twenty first century, freedives into a new world full with life and hope.
