The murder of Countess Evening Winterrose, one of the secret regents of the San Francisco Bay Area, pulls Toby back into the fae world. Unfortunately for her, Faerie has other ideas. After getting burned by both sides of her heritage, Toby has denied the fae world, retreating into a “normal” life. Or, in the case of October "Toby" Daye, rejecting it completely. Outsiders from birth, these half-human, half-fae children spend their lives fighting for the respect of their immortal relations. Secrecy is the key to Faerie's survival-but no secret can be kept forever, and when the fae and mortal worlds collide, changelings are born. The world of Faerie never disappeared it merely went into hiding, continuing to exist parallel to our own.

An O: the Oprah Magazine and Best Book of 2017 Winters wrote this book as a response to a political realm where false information can be easily spread. Golden State’s future setting was based off modern politics. In Golden State, to knowingly tell a lie is to commit a crime. Golden State is also deeply meaningful, examining the nuances of a society where truth rules supreme. This keeps the reader engaged and on the edge of their seat. Winters provides a refreshing perspective with a mix of genres set in a dystopian future. His novel Golden State is praised for its worldbuilding, described by Dark Matter author Blake Crouch as “a prescient, devastating commentary on humanity’s disintegrating attachment to reality and truth.” Winters is known for his many novels, including Golden State, Underground Airlines, and The Last Policemen trilogy for which he won the Philip K.

As in The Peripheral, the chapters alternate between viewpoint characters occupying variant timelines. There are telepresence workarounds, though, so contact isn’t just a series of conversations. Gibson’s alternate timelines are “stubs,” branches of history brought into being – or perhaps just made accessible – via a mysterious computer network that can establish communication (but not physical) links across probabilities. From this writer one can also expect extra dollops of ingenuity, plus imports from other SF motif families and a strong presence of familiar Gibsonian traits: smooth prose, sly pop-culture references, and acute observations of behavior and social interaction. The recipe has tended to generate ingenious mixtures of adventure and historical speculation, and Gibson’s take on it is no exception. Sprague de Camp’s “The Wheels of If” (1940).
