NOTES

A collection of cyberpunk stories carving space out for Trans+ characters in near-futures ravaged by rampant capitalism, terminal environmental decline, state surveillance, poverty, and the rolling back of human rights.Trans_lucent comprises six deeply empathetic stories exploring sex, technology, community, and what it means to be trans in a world where transhumanism has become business as usual. Told with sharp wit, precise prose, and own voice observations, Trans_lucent goes beyond neon lights and empty aesthetic. A testament to human connection in a cold world. Cumulative RealitiesTransbians Navi and Tash run a bookshop digitally preserving comics, novels, fanzines - anything written by Trans+ folks through history. After their server's hacked, they risk losing everything. In Wait of ObsolescenceWhat does it mean to be transgender when environmental catastrophe keeps everyone sequestered forever alone in their capsules? ProgenyReproduction is a government interest and job roles are defined before birth. But when Alana Khoury's progeny open fires on a biotech academy, she's drawn into rabbit hole about what it means to be a mother. RisingsonFor cyberware blogger, advisor, and investigator Violet, meeting trans masc cyborg Calder is so much more than another job. The Mnemosyne CycleMemory, self-determination, and identity in a world where memory wipes are as commonplace as the broken infrastructure and insidious state surveillance.Venus as a T-Boy, Saturn as a FemmePregnant T4T couple Lacewing and Tawn smuggle themselves into England a decade after they fled. The aim: avoid the law and get safely to Tawn's family where the baby has a chance at life
