Bridge Builder, Chapter 42: Widening Gyre, Shini: R.O.A.C.H.
The gulf between the internal worlds of men and women is explored in this episode, as Alex makes a classic dating error of thinking for his "girlfriend" Carbon. This is all the worse considering that this girlfriend is telepathic; and here Carbon is influenced and confused by Alex's memories into behaving with inappropriate familiarity towards a complete stranger. A disasterous dinner with this acquaintance is now nicely set-up.

Hollow World Book 2: Chapter 4, Myseri
Looking for a place to stay before the night draws in; Gina drives an electric car through an un-named town on the way to Amarillo, and recounts to Sam how she managed to live in New York after the Event. There are the problems of daily survival, the vacantly fierce Others and a potential dictator with the psychic power to visualise through the eyes of Others (a la Laura Mars). Myseri's second book in the "Hollow World" series, continues with flair, mystery, a touch of the American Civil War and personable characters.
