Take a chance on one of my otherworldly stories about people who risk everything for the sake of friendship, trust, & community. You also get heaps of humor, whimsy, sarcasm, & optimism. Sometimes gritty, but never grim.

I loved Andrea Hairston’s Archangels of Funk. Mindscape, her first novel, is a large, complex, and intense story of how humanity copes with alien barriers dividing the earth into three habitable areas filled with visionaries, gangsters, video makers, actors, throwbacks, politicians, and diplomats–and lots of conflicted people. This novel has quite the kick. Read it when you’re ready to dive deep.

Thought Experiment: What would a society look like, in which everyone is free to persue their own passions and interests, rather than employment?

(assume everyone is paid the same and/or has their basic needs met and money is irrelevant)
