About this audiobook
Wendell Sipe walks the corporate canyons each morning, an eleven-pound case calibrating his body as the datacenters beneath the sidewalks calibrate the city. In the permanent dusk of glass towers and processed air, he reads vibrations through his boots and measures his life in blocks traveled. When the hum he depends on falters, Wendell must confront what remains when the systems that steady him fall silent.
Sable Richter is a speculative fiction writer whose work lingers at the edge of labor, infrastructure, and attention. Her stories trace the quiet psychic costs of contemporary systems—data, logistics, automation—through intimate, grounded lives. She is interested in the way cities think, how machines borrow human metaphors, and how repetition reshapes time. Sable’s fiction has appeared in small journals and shared documents, often circulating longer than intended. She lives near a river, notices light failures, and believes most futures arrive gradually.View all by Sable Richter
