The Orbit of Phoebus and More Stories

Book 5: The Orbit of PhoebusDon't bother escaping the mundane-confront the inevitable instead. This vibrant collection of short stories pokes fun at the worker ants and corporate bosses choking on modern "progress," environmental shifts, and technological displacement. From quiet conflicts fought over stale air to the surreal theatre of social media policing, Thorne delivers a trademark blend of dark Australian humour and speculative dread. This is a brilliant forecast for New Holland when the old pubs go broke and the music scene realizes the show is over.
