Description
by Robert Plant (Author)
"Visceral, lyrical, and deeply unsettling; an unforgettable collection."
-The Prairies Book Review
". . . a must read . . . if you like stories that make you squirm a little and think a lot, you'll eat this up."
- Literary Titan
Seven Stories. Seven Chills. One unforgettable descent into darkness.
In this haunting collection of speculative tales, Robert Plant examines the razor-thin line between innovation and annihilation. While technology has crept into the cracks of human life, the potential for destruction and chaos lurks beneath the surface.
Within these pages you'll discover a dating app with deceitful intentions; a family off the grid desperate for help; a game show blurring the lines of reality; a woman trying to save her game with unthinkable consequences; a writer's getaway turned trap; the possibility of eternal life but at a cost; and an AI assistant who will do anything to make you happy.
Terrifying yet familiar, Dark Matter shines a light on the shadows of our relationship with technology. These stories not only envision our future, they warn us about the present.
