When systems fail, connection becomes radical infrastructure.
Quantum Feelings, Inc. is a near-future literary speculative novel set in Boston. As legacy institutions unravel, four MIT-educated Millennials push against the rules governing work, truth, and public service.
A journalist navigates the line between objectivity and advocacy. A psychologist confronts an anxiety crisis that can’t be solved one patient at a time. A biotech founder tests whether emerging technologies can serve the public good without repeating old harms. And an engineer reckons with a moment when public service is politically devalued—and mission-driven experts are pushed into the private sector.
As their paths converge, the novel explores what happens when institutions shed responsibility and individuals must decide what—and who—their work is really for. Less interested in collapse than in repair, Quantum Feelings, Inc. follows people choosing collaboration, care, and accountability inside systems that no longer function as promised.
This is a hopepunk, character-driven story for readers who enjoy near-future fiction grounded in real institutions, ethical tension, and roll-up-your-sleeves hope.
