  The Nature Book

  Part sweeping evocation of Earth's rhythms, part literary archive, part post-human novel, The Nature Book collages descriptions of the natural world into a singular symphonic paean to the planet. 
   
   
   
  What does our nature writing say about us, and more urgently, what would it say without us? Tom Comitta investigates these questions and more in The Nature Book, a "literary supercut" that arranges writing about the natural world from three hundred works of fiction into a provocative re-envisioning of the novel. With fiction's traditional background of flora and fauna brought to the fore, people and their structures disappear, giving center stage to animals, landforms, and weather patterns—honored in their own right rather than for their ambient role in human drama. The Nature Book challenges the confines of anthropocentrism with sublime artistic vision, traversing mountains, forests, oceans, and space to shift our attention toward the magnificently complex and interconnected world around us.

  Dr. Victoria Cruz’s career reached its pinnacle. Her psychiatry practice thrives as one of Miami’s most highly regarded, and her recent publishing deal proves she’s one of the area’s most respected therapists. Victoria’s new self-help book Mental Soul Food propelled her to celebrity status, whisking her away for book signings, speaking events, and appearances. Coupled with the relationship she’s built with her boyfriend Jason, things couldn’t be better. Until she meets Blaire Bennett—a fan of Victoria’s book and a troubled new patient. 
  Convinced it’s the only way to remedy Blaire’s problems, Victoria returns to her area of expertise: hypnotherapy. Previously, she’d ceased deep exploration of patients’ subconsciouses after extended hypnosis treatments of a patient went terribly wrong. Victoria’s haunted past resurfaces through Blaire’s treatment, causing her to dive into her own subconscious to the point where she can no longer be sure what’s real and what’s only happening in her mind. 
  Is Victoria a danger to herself? To others? Have her methods of hypnosis caused more damage than good? Is she building irreversible fantasies in her patients that lead to dangerous sexual obsession, physical trauma, and even murder? Worse yet, has Victoria herself unknowingly transformed into a Patient Killer?

  A collection of eight stories, Digital Extremities shines a spotlight on ordinary people in a callous yet hopeful future. Set across small towns and remote islands, where neon flickers against old buildings and oaks, this collection paints a unique view of a traditionally cyberpunk setting. 
  In 2089, a woman miscarries and seeks a way to find peace amidst overwhelming grief. Years later, a young man must find a way to pay rent outside of his job at the glassblowing studio. A pair of students, excited to go to college, install new hardware that promises to improve their cognitive functions. A private investigator searches for a missing child who has a reputation for embarking on risky adventures. Each tale is shaped by love, loss, and perseverance, weaving a vision of life outside of the megacities. 
  "'Touching' and 'cyberpunk' might not often intersect, but they do with Digital Extremities." (Timothy Hickson of Hello Future Me, author of A Catalogue for the End of Humanity and On Writing and Worldbuilding Vol. I-III.) 
  "A beautifully written collection that explores the intersection of technology and everyday life ... these are elegant, poignant stories told with organic heart." (Suzan Palumbo, author of Countess and Skin Thief: Stories) 
  "Adam Bassett displays a clear talent for world-building and a keen eye for character." (T.R. Napper, author of Neon Leviathan, 36 Streets, and Aliens: Bishop)

  Desperation is the most dangerous type of magic. 
  This shouldn't be her problem. 
  Listen. Claire Bishop is Las Vegas’s greatest stage magician, and she’s perfectly happy with that fame. Ozarik is the next Zaro, the leader of the world’s witches, the modern-day Darcy everyone swoons over. Just because Claire shares a Zaro’s unfathomable magic doesn’t mean she shares the responsibility. 
  So, if Ozarik wants to make himself a villain by casting an ultra-dangerous spell to stop death on Earth “for her,” to “protect her,” that sounds like a him-problem. Claire has a show in four hours. Skipping it to save the world might give her manager a heart attack. 
  Ozarik may be her friend, but it sounds like a lot of work. 
  … Ugh. Fine. 
  --------- 
  Voiced by the incredible Moira Quirk, this audiobook is perfect for fans of the quirky narration of "Good Omens," or for readers who loved the ever-shifting timeline of "This Is How You Lose the Time War."
