Book Three of The Letters That Arrive Tomorrow goes behind the mailbox: a filed-away research programme, a model that predicted behaviour with uncomfortable accuracy, and a closure meeting whose minutes are missing an appendix. The letters were never a mystery. They were a delivery mechanism, and somebody has been paying for the postage for eleven years.
A novel about the ethics of knowing what happens next — and about the difference between a warning and an intervention.
Todd J. Ankenbauer writes speculative fiction about belief, evidence and the places where the two quietly trade places. The Letters That Arrive Tomorrow follows one impossible correspondence from a mailbox to the research programme that manufactured it.
He writes about well-meaning institutions at the moment their good intentions become procedure, and about the people who read the minutes.
