Quiet Gods is a character-driven coming of rage science fantasy with a nonbinary mc who vows to burn down the world after an empire-funded priesthood takes away everything they’ve ever cared for.

The old cities have flooded and crumbled, all that’s left is their memory, preserved in data while the real world continues to decay. When Naoise writes an essay critical of the data cities, she is called in front of her school’s board and sets off a path of resistance she may not be prepared for.

Another day, another Harvard genetics paper on the whereabouts of an (I really stress this) purely *imaginary “Indo-European homeland” - published in Nature, to the applause of alt-right and white supremacists the world over, but of course, all in the name of “good science”..

There might be some rain tomorrow, so bring an umbrella and if you're able to, dress for the weather. We're sure some people will share umbrella space with those around them, but please respect people's personal space if they need a little more distance
