The Signature Feature

Timeline

Scroll sideways through six eras — from the world as it was, to whatever waits beyond Development.

I Era I

Civilisation before the question existed. Belief, biology, and borders all assumed the body was permanent.

II Era II

Tariku Negasi begins his work. No one yet knows what he is building, least of all him.

III Era III

The first working Mass Decompactor. The first volunteers. The first headlines that get the story wrong.

IV Era IV

Euphoria, terror, and political crisis arrive together. Governments scramble to regulate something that does not respect borders.

V Era V

Development matures into a society of its own — with its own economy, its own class system, and its own dead.

VI Era VI

What comes after the migration is complete. A question this anthology is still answering.
