In the opening tale, “The Sphere,” the narrator, Chaitanya, who fancies himself “the world’s first AI psychologist,” induces neuroses into an artificial-intelligence entity to make it more controllable. However, his own dread of inheriting his father’s debilitating agoraphobia ultimately overwhelms him. In “The Random Factor,” a utopian future society’s complacent power structure faces a crisis when a woman named Pratima decides to conceive and give birth naturally, instead of by long-accepted biotechnological means. In “Survival,” a particle beam’s collision with Earth leaves all humanity susceptible to fatal sleep apnea, except for Mallika, an expectant mother in rural India. A somewhat similar premise begins “The Speck,” in which a distant object is observed and recorded solely by recently widowed astronomer Animisha, who’s recently had advanced surgery to correct her eyesight -Kirkus

I can kill immortals, and everyone is about to find out.

As a lowbie demon vermin hunter, this is very bad news—I do the hunting, and don’t intend to become the hunted. So, when rumors about my immortal-killing existence begin to circulate, I must cover up my tracks, no matter what.

Unfortunately, when you’re already scraping the bottom of the barrel, the only help you find is the one you probably don’t want. Like the magical black market, where backstabbing is more of a competitive sport than a hobby, or the magnetic yet infuriating nightmare that’s the angel Zel.

But we don’t talk about him. Because murder is illegal, and I might just strangle him.
