Science Fiction from the Enduring Human

By Justin Berman

This second collection stands beside the first but turns its focus inward. Where the earlier collection charted the architecture of control, this volume follows the people who live within it: the witnesses, workers, parents, and wanderers who move through systems that measure, ration, and reshape their lives. Each story observes how ordinary lives bend under design, how structure becomes habitat, and how endurance takes quiet forms that no law can name.

The collection moves beyond concept toward human gravity. Its worlds are built from data and policy, yet the heart of each lies in a single, fragile persistence. Fear, trust, and compassion become the variables that the system cannot solve. Taken together, these stories reveal not the machinery itself, but the pulse that endures within it.
