When We Are Vanished

iWhen we are Vanished/iis a speculative, counter-culture novel. It offers a future where people are re-adopting the methods of the past in order to survive, and theres steam technology because steam is good. In many ways this is a book for geeks - computer wizardry, inventors, and comedy conspiracy theories dominate the tale. Time travel, paradoxes, and the nature of consciousness all feature in the plot. Its a feminist sort of book - a female dominated cast where women lead the action and theres a genderqueer character whose gender is not a plot point.
