The Edge of Awnawas (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781087990422)

A far-future earth shaped by interstellar genocide is unrecognizable from the planet we know today. Human inhabitants are limited to one continent, a neopangea, much of which is ravaged by an inhospitable desert known as The Feverlands. This is not the world Yenit knows, though. A self-conscious androgyne, Yenit lives their life in relative privilege compared to those outside of the walled megapolis of Awnawas. They are just trying to stay low and keep to themself, until the fateful morning when they find a strange body limp outside the wall. She is mechanical and alien, but she is a woman in her own way. Through her, we learn about the turmoil outside, and even inside the wall. The Edge of Awnawas is a story about love and what it means to love outside of cis-heteronormative structure. It is a story about how society shapes our identities and our ways of thinking. It's about how we view ourselves, free or chained. The Edge of Awnawas is a short exploration of what queer science fiction can truly be.
