Newshound

In the 22nd century, journalism has evolved into something far more dangerous than reporting the news. The profession has developed prescient abilities: the best reporters don't just cover events, they can see them coming, and in seeing, they make them happen. A newshound doesn't observe history, he manufactures it. When one of these gifted chronographers discovers a story that could reshape the future, he must navigate a world where information is power, where headlines can topple civilizations, and where the line between witness and architect has completely blurred. Marlowe builds a noir-inflected thriller that asks: in a world where telling the news creates the news, who controls reality itself? This is compact 1950s SF at its smartest, a brief, sharp vision of media manipulation that feels unsettlingly prescient today.
