Three Grams of Elsewhere

Harmony Cain
Detective, criminal. Pacifist, assassin. Atheist, prophet.
Empath.
Ever since civil war fractured the United States fifty years ago, Harmony “Bibi” Cain has isolated himself: from society, from technology, from family. A powerful empath who’s weary from the constant intrusion of others’ emotions, he’s finally retired to seek the hollow peace of further isolation in his rural Wisconsin retirement community. He hopes to find, if not peace, then at least a little quiet.
Yeah, well.
When four impossible-seeming killings shake North America, Bibi is drawn into an investigation he wants nothing to do with. The victims were killed by motes—unstoppable drones only an empath can control—and decades ago, Bibi was an unwitting subject in the wartime program that created them: the program that weaponized empathy.
A near-future Midwestern reflection on hate’s ascent and empathy’s decline, with elements of cyberpunk and mystery.
