Technology advances at break-neck speed. It transforms the way we communicate and consume, how we work and fall in love and navigate the world.

Edited by Julian Hanshaw and Krent Able, I Feel Machine explores the strange interplay between humanity and technology. Six visionary short fictions, by turns cautionary and celebratory, offer an electrifying glimpse into our collective future.
