OBSOLESCENCE is a new collection of short stories about horrifying or fantastical interactions with technology.
All leaps in technology are scary. Mysterious. Misunderstood. Until they slowly creep into our daily lives and become impossible to get rid of. Like an evolving parasite.
In OBSOLESCENCE, technology gets repurposed, subverted, and redefined.
