Overview: Sir Arthur C. Clarke Award-nominated writer Adam Roberts (The Thing Itself) and François Schuiten, recipient of the Angoulême International Comics Festival’s prestigious lifetime achievement award, present The Compelled, a science fiction novella and the first book-length science fiction publication that Schuiten has illustrated.
A mysterious change has occurred in humanity. Nobody knows how, why or exactly when this change came about, but disparate, seemingly unconnected people have become afflicted with the uncontrollable desire to take objects and move them to other places, where the objects gather and begin to form increasingly alien, monolithic structures that appear to have vast technological implications. Some of the objects are innocuous everyday things, like a butter knife taken still greasy from a breakfast table or a dented cap popped off a bottle of beer. Others are far more complex, like the turbine of an experimental jet engine or the core of a mysterious weapon left over from the darkest days of World War Two.
Where is the compulsion coming from? And when the machines they’re building finally turn on, what are they going to do?
