Infinite Worlds

Infinite Worlds Book Club explores the contemporary work of marginalized authors of fantasy and sci-fi. Historically underappreciated in the genre, these writers are now doubtlessly some of its greatest leaders.

This month we are reading In the Watchful City by S Qiouyi Lu. The Infinite Worlds book club will meet at 5 PM on Monday, March 24th.

Anima is an extrasensory human tasked with surveilling and protecting Ora’s citizens via a complex living network called the Gleaming. Although aer world is restricted to what ae can see and experience through the Gleaming, Anima takes pride and comfort in keeping Ora safe from harm.

When a mysterious outsider enters the city carrying a cabinet of curiosities from around with the world with a story attached to each item, Anima’s world expands beyond the borders of Ora to places—and possibilities—ae never before imagined to exist. But such knowledge leaves Anima with a question that throws into doubt aer entire purpose: What good is a city if it can’t protect its people?
