AlbakiReads Editorial

A reanimation story about belonging and assimilation

Daniel A. Olivas recasts Mary Shelley’s classic in a near-future United States, centering an unnamed paralegal brought back to life through a controversial process. His existence places him in a world that depends on reanimation while also resenting it. The premise connects speculative questions about the practice to pressures around belonging and assimilation, with political rhetoric and pharmaceutical profit forming part of the setting. The description also introduces lawyer Faustina God, with whom the paralegal falls in love, bringing a personal relationship into a story shaped by public controversy.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in modern retellings of classic literature.
  • Readers drawn to speculative fiction addressing belonging and assimilation.
  • Readers interested in fiction that brings political controversy and corporate interests into its premise.
