Heyo!

I'm an agented writer hoping (emphasis on hoping) to finish revising a short near-future sci-fi novel (~65k words). I'm happy to do a critique swap for a project of similar size.

The book is set in a version of Silicon Valley that's run by billionaires as a semi-independent city-state. The story follows a startup founder who forms a parasocial enemyship with a far more successful founder. It's something like Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow meets The Social Network meets Industry meets Black Mirror.

Some of my favorite books are The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin, The Steel Remains by Richard K. Morgan, The Incarnations by Susan Barker, Idlewild by James Frankie Thomas, The Radiant Emperor duology by Shelley Parker-Chan, The Order of the Pure Moon by Zen Cho, Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie, The Summer Hikaru Died by Mokumokuren, and Tiger, Tiger by Petra Erika Nordlund. If your project is something like any of the above, please shoot me a message!

All the best,
Kemi
