Dear Readers: I’m taking August off to recover from the increasingly distressing and real—not fictional—events of our times. As we experience the hottest Summer on record. As thousands flee the equator. While children are held hostage in cages and die at our southern border. With a pussy-grabbing, lawbreaking racist as president—a stain on our nation who is seemingly unimpeachable. As Boris Johnson becomes Prime Minister of the UK and the march to Brexit continues. And as Russia amps up its interference in our elections, I’m temporarily pausing my fantastical series, at the 11 Chapter mark…
Interlude
Will Brie keep her job?
Is a worker-directed creative co-op a viable enterprise?
Has Trump won a fourth term?

Did Jamal recover from his head injury?
Has civil unrest continued?
Will creativity save us from a dystopian future?
What happened to Air Purity after they downed the planes?
Will Overture recover from the Unilever loss?
Back to all this in September.
