The Fall Revolution
Ken MacLeod · 4 novels · 1995–1999
Ken MacLeod's Fall Revolution sequence opens with The Star Fraction (1995), his Arthur C. Clarke Award-nominated debut set in a fractured near-future Britain where a functioning anarchist microstate and rival revolutionary factions vie for power. The four connected novels — continuing through The Stone Canal, The Cassini Division, and The Sky Road — each stand largely alone while tracing overlapping characters and politics across a shared future history, later collected in the omnibus volumes Fractions and Divisions.
