The Concordance universe

Distance used to mean absence.

The Continuity Cycle explores a future in which human consciousness can inhabit distant bodies through Concordance, and the political, military and personal consequences of turning identity into infrastructure.

A body can be borrowed. A self can be distributed. The difficult question is what remains when connection stops being a choice.
