4.0

There is rarely space for meditative fiction. Plotless but beyond merely atmospheric, Orbital ponders. Specifically, it attempts to elucidate the emotions and thoughts around communication & connection. It is ruminative and, thus, requires serious thought & emotional engagement from readers. This is the reason why it is a quality work & why so many fail in their reading of it.
