From lullaby to spark, the tetralogy bundle asks:
What happens when systems built for stability begin to fear the human element they were designed to manage?
And what survives when optimization meets refusal?
Please note: The tetralogy bundle will be the only way to get the short stories in ebook format for the foreseeable future.

Stéphane Roy is a lifelong reader and writer with a deep love for science fiction, apocalyptic worlds, and tightly constructed mysteries. This is his first novel. He lives in the Yukon with his dog and his aquarium, where long winters, silence, and wide, sometimes glowing, skies leave plenty of room for imagining the end of the world, and what might come after it. He is also waiting, with cautious optimism, for the aliens to finally reveal themselves and straighten us all out.
