Signal and Echo is a fiction newsletter primarily by Chris Dowin, but guests are welcome. New stories arrive every weekly.

What you get:

• Original short fiction, primarily speculative

• Full archive access

• Email delivery of each new piece

• Occasional craft notes or story context

The stories: Near-future extrapolations where economic incentives collide with human needs. Technology that changes social contracts in uncomfortable ways. Markets that commodify what shouldn’t be for sale. Sometimes surreal detours into stranger territory.

If you’ve read this far, you probably already know whether this is for you.

On commenting: Thoughtful responses to the work is welcome. The goal is substantive conversation, not community for its own sake.
