The soil is screaming. Only she can hear it.
For eighteen-year-old Nia Reyes, the drought isn't just a weather event-it's a sensory assault. Wired into her family's struggling farm via a neural implant called RootWeave, she feels every crack in the earth as a fracture in her own bones.
But when the corporate monolith EdenCore rolls out a mandatory "resilience" update, Nia feels something worse than dryness: a digital silence where life used to be. The algorithm claims the soil is healing. Her body tells her it's being erased.
Caught between a father desperate to comply and a mysterious fungal network that demands rebellion, Nia must lead a ragtag community of farmers to break the loop of corporate control. But the price of the truth might be the farm itself.
A visceral, grounding Solarpunk journey, Mycelium Sutra explores the intersection of biotechnology, ancient wisdom, and the radical power of paying attention. Perfect for fans of Kim Stanley Robinson and Paolo Bacigalupi.
