| Publisher Description: Broken Mirror the start of a psychological science fiction saga. LGBT sci-fi that looks at genetic engineering and its social consequences. Someone killed Jefferson Eastmore. His grandson Victor is sure of it, but no one believes him. Diagnosed with mirror resonance syndrome and shunned by Semiautonomous California society, Victor suffers from hyperempathy, blank outs, and sensory overload. Jefferson devoted his life to researching and curing Broken Mirrors like Victor, but now that he's gone, Victor must walk a narrow path between sanity and reclassification-a fate that all but guarantees he'll lose his freedom. With its self-driving cars, global firearms ban, and a cure for cancer, the world of Broken Mirror may sound utopic, but history has taken a few wrong turns. The American Union is a weak and fractious alliance of nations in decline. Europe manipulates its citizens through propaganda. And Asia is reeling from decades of war. Amid shifting geopolitical sands, Broken Mirrors like Victor find themselves at a crossroads: evolve or go extinct. |
Contributor Bio(s): Sisco, Cody: - Cody Sisco is the author of speculative fiction that straddles the divide between plausible and extraordinary. Broken Mirror is his first novel, and the first in a series that focuses on Victor Eastmore's journeys on Resonant Earth and beyond. An avid reader of Frank Herbert, Haruki Murakami, and Kim Stanley Robinson, Sisco strives to create worlds that sit in the "uncanny valley"-discomfortingly odd yet familiar, where morality is not clear-cut, technology bestows blessings and curses, and outsiders struggle to find their niche. He currently lives in Los Angeles. |
