Great ending! I was wondering in the first chapter why the Ghost just stood by while the first trees were cut, and now I know the answer. Do you think the people will rise up against the perpetrators of this last bit of ecocide after getting this wake up call? In real life, I’m wondering if there will be any retribution for the engineers of LA’s destruction or if it’s going to more of the same ol’ same ol’.

Thanks for this mini-series, Claudia. Bridging the human/non-human elements of your fiction with The Ghost is a powerful strategy for enhancing your story and building an authentic world filled with conflict and transformation. Really appreciate the journey The Ghost takes in the short-circuiting and rewiring of its programming revealing an almost bucolic vision of the complex digital framework that exists beneath the surface controlling imagination and perception. Revolution requires sacrifice, luck, and constant dilligence in the face of overwhelming power. Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing how your illustrator envisions some of these scenes and characters.
