The third collection from Brick Moon Fiction presents writers who examine the machinery behind our daily information diet. Each day brings countless data points that our minds weave into the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. These speculative fiction authors dig into the mechanics of that process. They ask hard questions about the sources of our information streams and the methods used to deliver them. The stories probe the relationship between individual identity and collective narrative. Characters grapple with discovering who controls their information environment and why. The writers approach these themes from multiple angles, creating a collection that challenges readers to examine their own relationship with the narratives that shape them. At its core, this anthology explores how personal identity forms from the information we consume and process daily.
