Ambushing the Void

Ambushing the Void explores the margins of 21st century America, presenting characters seeking meaning in a world overrun by surveillance technologies, environmental decay, and drug epidemics. In "Red Tide," a sober home uses predictive analytics to quantify recovery. In "Multiverses," ghosts haunt the living via social media. "Such Strange Suns" presents a blind girl who misconstrues Amazon Alexa for God, while "Theory of Mind" reveals the world of professional Sock Puppets writing fake product reviews. These unforgettable, insightful stories are sympathetic and idiosyncratic reflections on contemporary life-virtual, real, and imagined.
