A Neo New Orleans Case FileBy Manuel A. DominguezLength7h 54m
About this audiobook
In Year 19 of Neo New Orleans, Solène Lafitte finds discrepancies across ward ledgers and food shipments while a 528 Hz carrier masks the city’s machinery of control. Children vanish from official counts. Supplies arrive short. Sector Four collects people the records refuse to acknowledge. Joined by frequency architect Marcel De La Rosa, manbo Yvonne Celestin, and the workers of Rose’s Thorn, Solène traces the evidence toward WEDDO, a 432 Hz signal moving through the city’s water and relay network. DISSONANCE is an adult Afrofuturist speculative-noir novel presented as a recovered case file, following a community that fights for the truth without sacrificing consent, privacy, or care for one another.
