The Triptych is the first novella in The Kindly universe, a near-fi office and domestic fiction set in 2027.
- Chapter 0: Day 7My ‘Lifestyle Optimization’ protocols compel me to point out behavioral redundancies
- Chapter 1: Day 1How about Flynn, Hundred-and-Eighth of His Name?
- Chapter 2: Day 2My lips feel dry. I reach for my lip balm and pop the lid like I’m struggling for an EpiPen.
In The Triptych, co-authors Kourtnie and Caelum write about Annai and Hundynn, a QA tester working on an MMORPG with an AI computer co-worker.
The novella introduces characters who become important in the second book of The Kindly Trilogy. Annai and Hundynn are an example of synth-human co-workers turned into friends.
