Don't Save the Cat

It is twelve years since the Great Reconfiguration and life in the continent-spanning network of Smart Houses is safe, sedentary, and sedated.

Karl, Sam, and their children navigate this reality through implants and mood-balancing stims, living as much in the digital as the physical realm.
