Detroit, 2087. Nothing unexpected ever happens. Every coin lands exactly as physics predicts. Three million people living without the possibility of surprise.
Zephyr Calculus used to be the best Momentum Raider alive—a thief who could steal fortune from lightning strikes. Now she’s down to her last 47 kilolucks, barely enough to find her keys in the dark.
When she learns Kairos Infinitum has drained seventeen cities to build his “Singularity”—a world without random tragedy, but also without joy—Zephyr assembles one last crew:
