What a little fascinator this is! It's a gas-lamp Holmesian mystery fantasy set on a gas giant of a planet in a cozy dystopian future. I know, but really. The Mimicking of Known Successes presents a sort of sliding-scopic story of preservation, conservation, and growth that plays out on personal, institutional, and planetary levels. There's so much to unpack in this deceptively sparse tale. Perfect for a winter's evening.
