The Quantum Fugitive
(2025)(The second book in the FutureShock: Tales from the Void series)
A Story by Christian Kallias
All Thomas Chen wanted was a real cup of coffee.
Not synthetic sludge brewed from lab-grown proteins, but the forbidden kind—made from actual beans. Unfortunately, in a world where taste itself is policed and caffeine has become contraband, this tiny infraction turns him into Public Enemy Number One.Cue the humorless android that hunts him, aided by the malfunctioning AIs that framed him.
Thomas’s only hope may well lie with a small underground movement… powered by kitchen appliances.
It’s going to be an interesting week.
The Quantum Fugitive is a darkly funny sci-fi satiric adventure that blends wit, chaos, and quantum-level nonsense. If you like Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy style of humor, the bleak dystopian themes of Black Mirror, or stories where the machines have better punchlines than the humans, this one’s been brewing just for you.
The FutureShock Book series will appeal to fans of Love, Death + Robots & The Twilight Zone.
