Fluence: Ten Thousand Minutes and Counting by Stephen Oram
Release Date: June 2015
Publisher: Silver Wood Books
Genres: Dystopian
Amber
is young and ambitious. Martin is burnt out by years of struggling. She cheats
to get what she wants while he barely clings on to what he has. It’s the week
before the annual Pay Day when strata positions are decided by the controlling
corporations. The social media feed is frenetic with people trying to boost
their influence rating while those above the strata and those who’ve opted out
pursue their own manipulative goals.
Fluence is a story of aspiration and desperation
and of power seen and unseen. It’s a story of control and consequence.
It's the story of the extremes to which Amber and Martin are prepared to go in
these last ten thousand minutes before Pay Day.

About Stephen Oram
Like each
and every one of us, my perspective of the world has been affected by many
people and experiences: as a teenager I was heavily influenced by the ethos of
punk; in my early twenties I embraced the squatter scene and then joined a
religious cult, briefly; I did some computer stuff in what became London’s
silicon roundabout; and I’m now a civil servant with a gentle attraction to anarchism.
I really enjoy taking a sideways look at our world and thinking, “what if,” and
then writing about it through speculative fiction.
