Summary

Steven is not your typical psychotherapist. Operating in the unique realm of Re-live therapy, a part of the treatments is The Slap, a controversial move Steven regrets after a session with a client. Grappling with the nuances of love, therapy, and self-development, Steven finds his life in New York City constantly changing in unexpected ways.
 
From the danger lurking in nearby Marcus Garvey Park to the contrasting worlds of the elite, middle-class, and those perpetually stalled in life, he navigates a full spectrum of human experience. On his journey, Steven encounters enigmatic figures like the radiant Eu-Mei and the menacing Mateo, each shaping his path. Alongside his martial arts grandmaster Jay, Steven learns lessons transcending mere technique--those of spirit, heart, and the subtleties of human connection. As the lines between therapist and savior blur, Steven realizes that his quests for love, professional success, and spiritual depth are more intertwined than he'd ever imagined.
 
G. Miki Hayden's RE-LIVE is a story of contemporary struggles punctuated with the ethereal mystique of martial arts, the challenges of helping desperate others, and the timeless search for love and meaning. Dive into a world where every encounter teaches a lesson and where, amid the chaos of life, moments of perfect clarity emerge.

Boarding Party by Robert F. Young - The fey Mr. Young continues his scholarly researches in the scientific origins of our myth and legend with this tale of an agile—and avaricious—one-man boarding party. 
(Translator's note: The original of the following report was recently acquired by the Terran Industrial Library through the Interstellar Historical Exchange Society, into whose illustrious fold the member nations of the Terran Economic Bloc have at last been admitted. The narrative is of primary interest to the library officials because it provides unequivocable proof that, long before the Interstellar Economic Community took official cognizance of our existence, several articles of Community Commerce found their way into our culture. To the layman, however, the narrative is of primary interest because it provides an intriguing parallel to a narrative of an altogether different nature.) 
TO: Interstellar Nurseries, Frimm 4 
FROM: Captain of the Greenship Uxurient, Urtz 2 
SUBJECT(S): (1) Why the Uxurient put in to an out-of-bounds system during the Frimm 4-Urtz 2 run; (2) how a boarding party of one gained the greendeck and made off with a Uterium 5 snirk bird, a toy friddlefork, and two containers of yellow trading disks; (3) why the Uxurient's flexible ship-to-ground capillary tube is ten exids shorter than it used to be.

In a dystopian world with no men, women are “rehabilitated” at an erotic amusement park. Climate change has caused massive flooding and warming in the Balkans, where one programmer builds a time machine. And a devious reimagining of The Sorrows of Young Werther refocuses to center a sexually adventurous Charlotte. Asja Baki? deploys the speculative and weird to playfully interrogate conversations around artificial intelligence, gender fluidity, and environmental degradation. As she did in her acclaimed debut Mars, Baki? once again upends her characters’ convictions and identities—and infuses each disorienting universe with sly humor and off-kilter eroticism. Visceral and otherworldly, Sweetlust takes apart human desire and fragility, repeatedly framing pleasure as both inviting and perilous.
