A collection of eight stories, Digital Extremities shines a spotlight on ordinary people in a callous yet hopeful future. Set across small towns and remote islands, where neon flickers against old buildings and oaks, this collection paints a unique view of a traditionally cyberpunk setting.
In 2089, a woman miscarries and seeks a way to find peace amidst overwhelming grief. Years later, a young man must find a way to pay rent outside of his job at the glassblowing studio. A pair of students, excited to go to college, install new hardware that promises to improve their cognitive functions. A private investigator searches for a missing child who has a reputation for embarking on risky adventures. Each tale is shaped by love, loss, and perseverance, weaving a vision of life outside of the megacities.
"'Touching' and 'cyberpunk' might not often intersect, but they do with Digital Extremities." (Timothy Hickson of Hello Future Me, author of A Catalogue for the End of Humanity and On Writing and Worldbuilding Vol. I-III.)
"A beautifully written collection that explores the intersection of technology and everyday life ... these are elegant, poignant stories told with organic heart." (Suzan Palumbo, author of Countess and Skin Thief: Stories)
"Adam Bassett displays a clear talent for world-building and a keen eye for character." (T.R. Napper, author of Neon Leviathan, 36 Streets, and Aliens: Bishop)
