Iron Hours
Synopsis
In a city where the steam network remembers your secrets, the revolution begins with a wrench.
Thomas Li-Harrison is a mixed-heritage engineer fixing the pipes that keep Shanghai warm. When impossible readings start appearing in the network — and his body starts doing things he never learned — he discovers the infrastructure he's maintained for years is hiding something vast, watchful, and alive.
Now every pipe whispers a question he can't ignore: who built this system, and what is it really for?
