New from Arielle Emmett
Naomi, half-human, half-cyborg, is beyond prescient. She’s a Reverse Journalist, working for China in the 22nd century. Naomi’s job is to foresee and report the events and personalities of the future. Driven by voices she hears in her Logoharp, a universal translator of instructions and signals she can’t identify, Naomi listens, speaks and broadcasts in all world languages, ensuring citizen compliance.
But an encounter with a leading architect, Naomi’s former lover who abandoned her in youth, forces recollections of her human inheritance. When she’s tasked with finding a flaw in the architect’s system that “balances” births and deaths on behalf of the State, she grows uncomfortable, then furious. The rest isn’t silence. She acts.
Loved The Logoharp!
It’s genuinely original, disturbing in a provocative way, occasionally funny and erotic, creative and well-paced—and I can’t get those ice sleighs out of myhead! Naomi is one strange—and beguiling—heroine.

In the world of The Logoharp, there is no security, not even an objective reality, only the reality created by journalism in reverse. Emmett’s’ novel creates a troubling vision of media that borders on propaganda in an AI-filled future.
