It is 2500. In Eurafrica, every child gets the same optimal start in life. Shira, who lives in the hyper-dense city of New Jozi, investigates old birthing traditions and is conducting an unorthodox experiment. On the other side of the planet, midwife Lucot struggles to access technology appropriate for the less evolved American context. They collaborate with shared curiosity and compassion to explore the balance between useful social norms and individual freedom.
At 10 000 words, Broody is best described as a novelette.
