Muriel

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an intelligent machine? Muriel doesn't need to ask, because she is that machine.

Through the eyes of the human race that created her, we follow Muriel's growing-pains as she learns the scope of her powers and comes to terms with her limitations. From the playful rebellion of youth to the serious moral quagmire of her responsibility to the humanity that gave her life…

Muriel is the thought-provoking and unconventional story of the world's first true Artificial Intelligence, and the subtle and not so subtle effects that such an Artificial Intelligence could have on the world.

The Bielefeld Chronicle

Jacob Młnarczyk is an aimless drifter, who quits his dead-end supermarket job and embarks on a journey to Bielefeld, a city that doesn't exist. Inspired by the psychedelic and psychological science fiction of the 1960's and '70's, the Bielefeld Chronicle is a surreal encounter with life, death, love, and betrayal — one that combines elements of magical realism and science fiction to create a fantastical, allegorical journey into the mind.

The Inheritance

What do you get when you mix three feuding siblings, a dead mother, the wicked witch of the west's spiritual successor, and a will worth hundreds of millions of pounds? A recipe for… disaster?

The Inheritance is a laugh-out-loud romp full of black humour and cosy suspense, against the backdrop of an exclusive cryogenic facility hidden high in the Alps, where nobody can hear you... squabble like children.

The Institute for Better Speaking

A young woman chooses to become an inmate at a new facility designed to help "language offenders" become better citizens. The competitive nature of the program turns friends into enemies and turns people against themselves. For Imara Chigoze, there is only one way out, and it certainly isn't the easy way.

The Magnificent Lightness of Being

Mpohor City is a futuristic utopia managed by an all-powerful artificial intelligence. Jacob Młynarczyk is an 800 year-old adolescent grappling with the meaning of life, death, art, and autonomy in a perfectly regulated world.

A coming of age story set 2000 years from now, The Magnificent Lightness of Being takes place in a perfect future. Do we wish it would actually come true?

The Crashing Tide

Stories about alien encounters, time travel, the surveillance state, life on distant planets, and love and drugs in the not-too-distant future.

Told from the perspectives of wildly differing characters and in a variety of narrative styles, The Crashing Tide is a genre-spanning collection of weird, evocative, and thought provoking stories.
