Give me Hard Sci-Fi, but Beautiful
Set in many parallel versions of our world, this beautifully written novel unfolds via correspondence between Red and Blue, agents for rival factions in the Time War. Red works for the Agency, a faction that is working toward a techno-focused future that feels a lot like the Matrix; while Blue works for Garden, a lush and distinctly biological future. Both women are the best of the best at what they do, manipulating the many braids of the past to ensure the future they want.
If you love world building and word play, you cannot miss this novel. The writing is poetic, and by jumping through so many timelines you get new, beautiful, and unique civilizations unfolding before you in nearly every chapter. Since this novella is short, I implore you to take your time and go back and reread passages so you don't miss any of the clever wordplay Red and Blue bat back and forth. You won't regret picking this up.
