The Accompaniment
Explore the world of The Things We Would Bear (2026) through a monthly installment of interconnected novelettes
In 2062, humanity has survived a near-collapse of the population, but is more divided than ever. Diplomat Tara Sandor is on a tour to reunite the six factions that were once a unified country with her AI-powered diplomatic vehicle, DAIV, and her brother, Riff.
Of course, Riff isn’t interested in all that. He just wants to be left alone to play his music.
On schedule and out of sync, they navigate the divided lands. But when they are joined by an unlikely companion, the rhythm—and Riff’s tune—slowly changes.
The first story is open to everyone — no sign-up required.
