About this ebook

The year is 2116. Eugenics experiments have failed to curb the city’s dense population, which drowns in perpetual shadows cast by a layer of giant towers scraping the stratosphere miles above.

 

Further below an ancient and mysterious world crumbles...

 

STRATA is a book about the future, made for the future. Directed and illustrated by Tommy Lee Edwards, with music and sound design by I Speak Machine, it comprises science fiction and essays by eight stellar writers.

 

Each story is a portal that will take you deeper into STRATA; each essay will reveal another layer of science that underpins the world.
