Vivid portrayal of future Singapore through stories.

Uncanny Valley is a thought-provoking and multi-layered collection of short stories that offer a vivid portrayal of life in future Singapore. Each story provides a different perspective, exploring issues about identity, society, and what it means to be human. The most unique and distinctive feature of the book is its ability to transport the reader to a not-too-distant future that is both fascinating and disturbing. If you are interested in speculative fiction that challenges your worldview, then Uncanny Valley is the perfect read for you.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
