Beschreibung
What if the most dangerous thing about the future is how normal it feels?
Catalogue of Impossible Lives is a gripping collection of speculative fiction set in near-future worlds shaped by artificial intelligence, surveillance, medical systems, and technologies that promise convenience while quietly changing what it means to be human. Across these stories, a scientific breakthrough unsettles the nature of identity, institutions make life-and-death decisions through process and policy, and people discover too late that efficient systems rarely stay neutral.
These are not stories of distant galaxies or epic wars. They are darker, closer, and more unsettling than that. They unfold through contracts, screens, algorithms, medical judgments, and private moments of fear, love, memory, and resistance. Each story blends psychological depth with dystopian tension, exploring bioethics, identity, consciousness, and the hidden cost of progress.
Perfect for readers of literary speculative fiction, dystopian fiction, and thought-provoking AI fiction, Catalogue of Impossible Lives offers smart, chilling, emotionally resonant stories that stay with you long after the final page. It is a book about impossible choices, fragile lives, and the systems we build before we understand what they are capable of becoming.
