For connoisseurs of speculative fiction who enjoy detailed worldbuilding. In the near future, the world is run by WellCorp but all is far from well. Stephens’ debut begins in “Zone 874, Pacific Ocean, 29 Days Post-Launch,” where we find one of our two heroines, Maggie, alone and afloat in a vessel called a WellPod, which is about to serve her a so-called latte made of mushrooms and root vegetables.
