WHAT IF? is the premise of every sci-fi, as Ursula K. Le Quin, would argue. What if we could access everything we ever wanted via a vending machine? What if a machine programmed to feel, felt a little too much? What if you needed to return to a place of doom just to make peace with your grief?
Technologies of Afro-futurism, humans worshiping terror, flowers of the cyberspace variety. Experiments of ideas and form can be unearthed in this collection of shorts, where dystopian world-building collides with our own projected wonders, fears and insecurities.
