Central Station

In the shadow of a massive space port rising between Tel Aviv and Arab Jaffa, the children of a far-future Earth are going about their lives. Some are human, some are not quite human, and some are digital entities who were never human at all. All are connected by the Conversation — a vast data network threading through every mind — and by the pull of memory, love, and the deep human need to belong somewhere. Told in linked vignettes that read as a mosaic novel, Central Station is a luminous, elegiac work of science fiction — simultaneously intimate and cosmic, rooted in the specific textures of Middle Eastern culture while reaching toward the stars. Winner of the British Fantasy Award. Campbell Award winner Lavie Tidhar's most celebrated work.
