  The Distractions

  Mischa Osborn spends her days as a ProWatcher—keeping distracted people on task and lonely ones accompanied—from her Brooklyn Megabuilding, while eating PetriMeat Steax and working out with her favorite personal trainer, a straight-talking algorithm named Tory. 
   
   
   
  Her carefully constructed, isolated existence is suddenly upended by a chance realspace encounter with a HighlightReel celebrity, Nicolás Adán Luchano. On their first date, hiking in Kuulsuits and watching DroneBeez pollinate flowers, Mischa experiences a brief but intense realspace connection. 
   
   
   
  Mischa takes to relentlessly watching Nic onReel. As Mischa's ReelWatching spirals into an all-consuming obsession, and even realspace stalking, Mischa takes increasingly desperate measures to be seen and valued, sucking others into her vortex of obsession until she completely loses control. 
   
   
   
  Meanwhile, someone is equally obsessed with Mischa, tracking her every move and perhaps even influencing her choices. 
   
   
   
  A tale of how technology enables obsession, envy, and unrelenting comparison, told through an eccentric cast of interconnected characters, The Distractions invites us to reflect on who we are watching, and why.

  Honeymoons in Temporary Locations

  Climate disaster–induced fugue states, mutinous polar bears, support groups for recently displaced millionaires, men who hear trees, and women who lose their wives on environmental refugee resettlement trips. In these dispatches from a weirding world, the absurd and fantastic are increasingly indistinguishable from reality. Exploring this liminal moment, Ashley Shelby's collection of climate fictions imagines a near future that is both unnervingly familiar and subversively strange. 
   
   
   
  Set in the same post-climate-impact era, these stories range from playfully satirical to poignantly humane, bending traditional narrative forms and coming together into a brilliant and unusual contemplation of our changing world. Featuring the Hugo-nominated novelette "Muri," Honeymoons in Temporary Locations processes the unthinkable through riotous inventions like guided tours of submerged cities, Craigslist ads placed by climate refugees, and cynical pharmaceutical efforts to market a drug to treat solastalgia, the existential distress caused by environmental change. 
   
   
   
  Shelby reengineers the dystopic bleakness that characterizes so much climate fiction by embracing an eclectic experimentalism leavened with humor, irony, and the inevitable bathos that characterizes the human experience. Unexpected and clever, this innovative collection confirms her status as a visionary writer whose work expands the forms, attitudes, and possibilities of climate fiction.

  Poor Clara. On the one hand, things are going well: she’s aced her Math final, and school’s almost out for the year. Dad’s hanging in there with contract jobs, Mom’s helping make ends meet by cleaning other people’s homes, and they’ve at least got a roof over their heads. Vegas isn’t the nicest place in the summer, but it’s no worse than the half-dozen other places she’s lived in her short life.But on the other hand, she has no friends. Everyone at school is either diffident or a bully—as if they can sense that Clara doesn’t quite fit in. And then there are the triplets, who mysteriously vanish in the Art Alley near the school.That’s when things get interesting.Clara follows them through a Border to Underhill, and before long she’s thrown into a world she never knew existed. A world of magic, witches, excitement, and danger. It seems she’s apparently the only one who can save all of Underhill from an exile who wants to trap them all and cut off the source of magic!Also, she’s pretty sure her parents knew about this all along.

  From Amazon Top 100 author A.W. Davidson comes the time-twisting tale of two scientists on a mission to reverse climate change — and unravel a mystery spanning eons. 
  In 2296, an unstoppable mass extinction is underway. Climate Council scientists have no choice but to unveil the Dawn Project. 
  They will terraform the planet back to life… by erasing its civilization. 
  When refugee protests turn violent, the Council calls on their savior, biologist Kaia Badra, to inspire her city on the brink to begin its exodus to the heavens. 
  But, she soon uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to tip the Council’s audacious act of creation toward apocalyptic destruction. 
  Her race to find the truth leads to a mystery from 2034, when disgraced geologist Alan Pearce claimed ancient ruins held a shocking secret about the origin of life. And how far she may need to go to save it. 
  Separated in time but bound by courage, Kaia and Alan's stories intertwine as superstorms rage and cities crumble to dust. Their worlds are dying... but who can they trust?

  Gen Beaufont might be from fifteenth century London, but modern day Los Angeles is her home. 
   
   
   
  And corrupt politicians are trying to destroy her city. Somethings never change, no matter how many centuries tick by. 
   
   
   
  When Gen learns that the political leaders of LA are using their powers for evil, she springs into action. 
   
   
   
  She might work with criminals, but only to protect the greater good. These politicians are harming the people all for their own selfish gains. 
   
   
   
  And sadly, the one person who could help Gen to stop this is a traitor and wants her dead. Gen has her work cut out for her, stopping insider trading, unethical business kick backs and bringing down the mastermind behind all the exploitations in Los Angeles. 
   
   
   
  Oh, and also, she needs to catch up on a hundred years of music and television so that she can finally get all the pop culture references that keep flying over her head. 
   
   
   
  Can Gen Beaufont expose the mastermind behind the corruption and save Los Angeles from the brink of chaos? Or will the criminals lurking in the shadows take over, unleashing an evil so rampant that it could consume not just the city, but the entire world?
