Description

Struggling actor Addison Moore is jobless, penniless and all but homeless. Desperate – and broke – he auditions for a bit-part in a lavish sci-fi production bankrolled by shadowy corporate sponsors. But on set, something is off. The props are too elaborate, the actors too realistic. Somehow, impossibly, this is real – Addison is in the future, and in mortal peril. Outside, a climate-ravaged Earth is days from collapse, but in a crumbling institute a mysterious group calling themselves ‘Levellers’ claim to have discovered the secret of resurrection. Only Addison is horrified to learn they aren’t bringing people back to be saved, they’re bringing them back to stand trial for causing the crisis in the first place… ‘Levelling’ is a sci-fi novella that blends mystery, horror and climate fiction to ask a simple will our descendants ever forgive us for what we’re doing to the world?
