The Resonance Of Tuesday: A structural engineer who can hear lies builds a machine to quiet his kettle and accidentally summons a holographic foreman to debug a universe running on faulty data. Kindle Edition

The Universe is not broken. It is merely pending approval.For fans of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett comes the opening entry in a sprawling archive of speculative satire.Arthur Penwright is a structural engineer. He suffers from a condition known as Semantic Tinnitus. It allows him to physically hear the friction of a lie. In a world defined by approximate truths and polite fictions, Arthur lives in a constant state of high fidelity headache. A structural weakness sounds like a mosquito. A fib feels like a stone in his shoe.He just wants it to stop. He wants a kettle that does not lie about boiling water.In his damp garage in the village of Oakhaven, Arthur builds a machine to fix the signal. He taps into the gravitational tension of a celestial anomaly that humanity has politely decided to ignore for the last fifty years. He expects a quieter kettle. What he gets is The Foreman.The Foreman is a holographic interface who views reality as a construction site. It is a site that is four billion years behind schedule. Together they discover that the laws of physics are actually just administrative guidelines. Oakhaven is not just a sleepy village. It is a pressure cooker of repressed trauma and low bandwidth denial.But debugging the world is dangerous work.Arthur accidentally initiates a salvage operation for the universe itself. He must travel across a glitching country in his trusty Volvo 240. He must face the heavy gravity of the Bank of England and the vanishing textures of the North. He must confront a corporate entity that is determined to optimize humanity out of existence.Welcome to the Bootstrap Epoch.THE RESONANCE OF TUESDAY is the first file in The Nine Moons Collection. It is the beginning of a forty volume history of the Symbiocene. It creates the architecture for a story that spans from the damp garages of Northern England to the heat death of the universe.Arthur Penwright is not a hero. He is a man who knows that if you do not tighten the bolts, the whole thing falls down. This is a story for anyone who suspects that reality is being held together by duct tape and polite denial. It is time to check the wiring. Read more
