Oblivion, A Utopian Novel
Elysia wakes up adrift in a canoe, with no recollection of her past or how she came to be nestled against a lush island atoll. Set in a far distant future amidst a utopian paradise, our heroine slowly begins to explore that beautiful society, learning how we got there and who she is in the process.
Oblivion is part of a two-book set: Oblivion: A Utopian Novel and its companion Oblivion: Essays Imagining a More Beautiful Future. Both the novel chapters and the nonfiction essays will be published for my newsletter subscribers in real time. When I’m done, I’ll have two books: all the research that went into imagining a more beautiful world. And that more beautiful world.
