Abstract: | A piece of short fiction that imagines a dystopian future for South Australia, in which the State relocates the homes of citizens who do not conform to rigid regulations. This “cli-fi” narrative follows a protagonist’s investigation of an outcast settlement into the world’s deepest mine shaft. The story explores themes of environmental and communal dislocation, the loss of the familiar, and the profound complexity of interactions between State and individual. |
