Synthetic parallax - a sci-fi collection

In the dripping, rain-soaked, neon-rotted pacific northwest, where the line between human nature and machine life dissolved years ago, we find seven twisted tales.- a lonely husband falls in love with an android who is almost too addictive.- a mother sells her soul to give her daughters a future that might only exist in her mind.- a washed-up hacker with a drug problem triggers a fate that neither he, nor his ai, could see coming.- a clown, a murderous priest, and an ancient goddess walk into the same dive bar...and only one walks out.- a corporate enforcer discovers the most dangerous high isn't synthetic; it's real.dark, sexy, funny and, brutal, synthetic parallax drags you through drugs, desperation and glitching realities that feel disturbingly like tomorrow's headlines. all too real, yet somehow far away.welcome to the future. all your sins are not only welcome, they're on display for all of our voyeuristic pleasure.
