AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When electronics importer Cara Leon goes missing, private investigator Sam Mujrif is hired by her sister to investigate. Cara is eight times taller than Sam, but evidence soon points to players much smaller than either of them. As Sam and his cross-scale colleagues pursue the case, it becomes apparent that Cara’s disappearance is linked to the development of technology with the potential to reshape their whole society, and radically alter the balance of power between the scales.' (Publication summary)

Works about this Work

Locus Looks at Books : Alexandra Pierce Alexandra Pierce , 2023 single work review
— Appears in: Locus , March vol. 90 no. 3 2023; (p. 20)

— Review of Scale Greg Egan , 2023 single work novel
'I’m not afraid to admit that I felt trepidation before embarking on this novel. A world where the most significant difference between people isn’t color or creed, but instead their scale – that is, their relative heights – and that comes with a website explaining how the science of that scaling works? The very idea – people on seven different scales, where Scale Seven is 1:64 of Scale One – seemed entirely likely to break my brain. But... it’s a new Greg Egan book, the first since 2021’s The Book of All Skies. I figured that if I managed – indeed, thoroughly enjoyed – his Orthogonal Universe trilogy, complete with vector diagrams as part of the story, then I was prepared to give this new wild, likely-to-be-immaculately- thought-out, proposition a go.'
