Summary
"Sleep tight satellite is centered on the theme of LGBTQ+ chosen family. In these interlinked stories, characters fall in love, form relationships, break up, form new relationships, and create families. This positive form of connection contrasts with the violent pseudo-communities formed by policing, government control, and technological surveillance. Characters struggle to survive the pandemic, but their survival skills were honed long before the Covid-19 outbreak. There's a gritty realism to the odd jobs many of these characters take to survive, and the ways they create communities of mutual aid when the pandemic hits"--Provided by publisher.
