But a police officer and a journalist believe Kato’s parole was actually a jailbreak. And a telekinetic serial killer is quietly wreaking havoc on the moons, where humans have rebuilt society after losing Earth. The police and journalist are closing in. And the killer has a special interest in Kato. On two sides, he faces disaster that rivals the loss of a planet, which is to lose everything. "How to Lose a Planet" is a 100,000-word speculative fiction story with a diverse cast of characters. The story was written with an appreciation for NK Jemisin’s detailed world-building, Octavia Butler’s philosophy on a clear and accessible storytelling voice, and Nalo Hopkinson’s attention to the effect of culture on dialogue.
