Description
Set in the world of Anne Charnock's novel A Calculated Life - shortlisted for the Philip K. Dick and Kitschies Golden Tentacle Awards - "The Enclave" reveals the harsh reality of life at the bottom of the heap in late twenty-first century Britain. Advances in genetic engineering have created a population free of addictive behaviour. Violent crime is rare. But out in the enclaves it's survival of the fittest for Lexie - embroiled in a recycling clan and judged unfit for cognitive implants - and Caleb, a young climate migrant working as an illegal, who is eager to prosper and one day find his father. The Enclave is a standalone novella. A must-read for any fan of the acclaimed novel A Calculated Life. "Charnock's dystopia is actually believable." - Strange Horizons. "What Charnock has in common with Philip K. Dick is the ability to write unease." - Adam Roberts.
