Just uploaded the prologue of Free City, along with a blurb giving slightly more information on the book's ambitions. Feedback and sharing is always welcome. Thank you!
A few possibilities jump out. Are they trying to keep us from something only accessible by ftl speeds? Are they going to lose a bet with someone else if we develop it and use it properly? Is it a taboo technology and we'll rip the fabric of the universe if we try it? Lots of possibilities there. I like it well.
At some point, (possibly near the end or as an aside near the beginning) someone needs to make the observation that, although HR policies have been voided for that day, at least some of the workforce still came to work, otherwise there'd be no story. Attendance policies would also be void, after all. Really looking forward to this one.
Can't wait to learn more about this concept. Very much looking forward to this.
