The Digital Plantation & Other Stories

A Collection of Speculative Fiction by J.V. Gray

In a fractured America, where states have become isolated kingdoms, technology enables both liberation and oppression and the divide between rich and poor spans wider than the Mason-Dixon Line, these stories explore a future that feels frighteningly possible.

A Native American smuggler risks everything to transport precious genetic cargo across hostile borders. A centenarian harbors a centuries-old secret that DNA testing threatens to expose. A young girl faces down a monstrous threat created by the very technology meant to keep her safe. And in a world where corporations hold the keys to survival, a grandmother must decide between freedom and security for her only remaining family.

Raw, unflinching, and darkly humorous, these tales examine the human cost of political division, environmental collapse, and technological progress. Gray weaves a tapestry of interconnected narratives that challenge our assumptions about identity, equality, and what were willing to sacrifice in the name of progress.

Perfect for fans of Paolo Bacigalupi, N.K. Jemisin, and Omar El Akkad, this collection offers a bold vision of an America grappling with the consequences of its past while hurtling toward an uncertain future.
