This short speculative fiction is a mini companion story to Killing Juggernaut. It follows an unemployed and nearly homeless microprocessor engineer on the streets of Chengdu, and explores what happens to those left behind by grand endeavors to save humanity. Click on the title to read it, but please be patient; because it is archived by the National Library of Australia, it takes a few minutes to load. An audio recording of it (narrated by me) was aired on the AntipodeanSF Radio Show in January 2023.
