Latent Space
A fuck-around-and-find-out whodunit tale of neo-noir gore and messy
flip-the-script cli-fi about artificial intelligence, animism,
national security liberals, insurrection, climate guilt, weaponized
media, advanced mathematics, conspiracism, global cyberwar, overlapping
polycrisis, and the strangest of bedfellows.

reviews
“It feels like someone asked Neal Stephenson, Robert Shea (The Illuminati Trilogy), Daniel Suàrez, and Martha Wells (Murderbot), Andy Kessler (Grumby) and Cory Doctorow to think about how a US civil war might happen, and what to do about it.”
“Not some dystopian alternative universe fiction, this timeline is right in front of us.”

This book is a work of fiction, which began as a board game. It has been written as a parody, intended to be political speech. Names, characters, places, and incidents are the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictiously. Any resemblances to actual events, locales, or persons, living or dead, is coincidental. The story themes are fictional, please take them with a grain of salt. Cited references are factual, and these are recommended reading. Diegetic prototypes fall somewhere in between fiction and fact. Talk about it.
Distribution is not permitted without prior written approval from the publisher. If you represent acquisitions for a physical, community public library, send email to [email protected] regarding any inquiries and we’ll help.
WARNING: contains graphic violence, language, adult situations, plus hopefully some novel ideas to discuss.
