IYou’ve never seen something like this before. No one in your class has. You’re standing on the observation balcony of the timedeck, all twenty-four of you, staring out through six layers of reinforced carbon-mesh plexiglass. No one speaks. No one even picks up a datapad. Somewhere to your left, lost in the long single-file line of seventeen-year-old wannabe valedictorians, someone coughs. The noise feels like sacrilege. It used to be so blue. IIYou wonder what it would be like to stand on it.

At the beginning of Dakini Atoll, there’s a note from the author explaining that while this book follows the story of their previous work, Club Ded (2020), the narrative does not assume that readers will be familiar with that other story.

(...) The truth is that I don’t know how much of my life was a dream and how much was reality. Does it matter in the end? – Pedro Zephyr, interview with “Jornal do Brasil” in September 1998, two weeks before his death. (...) He always told me, “I’ve already seen what my tombstone will be like. I know how the game ends. D’you think I will be afraid of a mere nightmare?” He called cancer like that, a ‘nightmare,’ always in that joking manner of his.
