Medium Error is a haunting, lyrical descent into miscommunication between systems. A vessel from a post-human swarm is sent to infiltrate a worldform called HUM — Earth, or something like it. Its mission is seamless passage. But the host does not yield. It watches. It reflects. It responds.
Told in fragments, logs, classroom echoes, and philosophical fever dreams, Medium Error explores what happens when doctrine meets deviation — and when the medium pushes back. From collapsing swarm intelligences to substitute teachers and strange student diagrams, this story unfolds across both alien systems and the mundane brilliance of human learning.
Perfect for fans of Ted Chiang, Jeff VanderMeer, and readers who like their science fiction strange, recursive, and full of resonance.
