Cancelled and Other Stories — Jon Cronshaw

The future isn't a dystopia waiting to happen. It's already here. In Cancelled and Other Stories, Jon Cronshaw delivers haunting glimpses of a near-future Britain where social media, AI, and surveillance capitalism reshape identity, autonomy, and community. Whether it's a blind author paying for sight with his privacy, a journalist addicted to emotional commerce, or a teenager trapped by viral infamy, Cronshaw's characters face systems that prize engagement over humanity. Blending cautionary fiction with emotional resonance, Cancelled and Other Stories is perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Ted Chiang, and socially conscious speculative fiction. These stories don't depict technology gone wrong—they show technology working exactly as designed, with chilling consequences. If you value thought-provoking, character-driven science fiction that reflects the ethical dilemmas of today's digital world, this collection is a must-read. Get your copy.
