When his one chance for love and to change his fate is violently torn away from him, he embarks on a quest to rebuild the object of his obsession.

Kathal Hill is one of the places where I spend my days rummaging through the piles of rubbish. It makes my fingertips so tired I can no longer feel them, and I often have to stop and rest. Today I settle into a discarded pilot seat, extract my military binoculars from my overalls, set the zoom to 10x, and watch her.

“Filled with themes of cybernetics, prosthetics, consumerism, over-consumerism, robotics and transcendence, Nexhuman expands on classic tropes to build a world as deep and compelling as the main character.
“Nexhuman is the first book Fantastica have published and we’re fortunate to have been able to work with such a talented and dedicated author.”
