In a future where humanity has spread across the galaxy, Earth has become the most coveted piece of real estate in the universe. Not for the living. For the dead. Joseph Krieg, a wealthy man from the colonies, has purchased his plot in Manhattan Park, the most prestigious necropolis in existence. He's bought his way into eternity. But as the day approaches, Krieg begins to question what he's actually purchased. Is this reverence for the ancestral home a profound expression of identity, or has humanity simply found a new way to be hierarchy-bound even in death? McConnell's sharp, unsettling novella interrogates what we value, what we cling to, and whether home is something you can own, or something that owns you. For readers who love compact, idea-driven science fiction that punches far above its word count.
