Tower of Dreams by Jamil Nasir

Disaster, obsession, the collective unconscious, in a future Middle East. Very interesting, couldn't put it down. Author provides vivid details of Middle East culture, traditions, squalor, customs, etc. Reminds me of "tech noir".

Not even ashes [short fiction] by Jamil Nasir

Involved tale about a strange religious cult on Callisto, a woman who is not what she seems and the very rich men that buy into the cult.
