New science fiction ebook! "Our Dependence on Foreign Keys"

My novelette "Our Dependence on Foreign Keys" is now available as a 99¢ ebook! I hope you'll check it out, especially since I'm hoping to get to work on more Franny and Hondo stories.

"Our Dependence on Foreign Keys" was originally published online in 2015 in Across the Margin.


Our Dependence on Foreign Keys


'Our Dependence on Foreign Keys' by William Shunn

Release date: 2 May 2017

“Shunn is a fine writer; ingenious, stylish, closely in touch with current global trends and expert in producing thought-provoking near-future SF.”

—Nick Gevers, Locus Magazine

When high-tech partycrashers swarm his exclusive soirĂ©e high above the floodways of New York City, billionaire inventor Pell Franziskaner can’t be sure whether it’s a garden-variety annoyance or a prelude to murder. His own.

Environment, economics, and augmented reality collide in this novelette of reputation, revenge, and artificial intelligences so advanced they run directly on the fabric of spacetime.
