Lost Ark Dreaming

How it reads

Lost Ark Dreaming is science fiction (dystopian science fiction, specifically), and its dominant mood is dark. It goes to difficult places and doesn't look away. The pace is moderate — neither a page-turner nor a slow burn — so it holds up whether you read it in long sittings or short ones.

It's set in a big city setting, in the future, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are class and society, survival and power and politics. In weight it's heavy and literary — denser, more serious, and more demanding of you.

It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending is left open, for you to argue about. At 179 pages it's a single-sitting book. It's a hidden gem — known to relatively few readers.
