Featured SingLit:\u00a0<\/strong>Somewhere Else, Another You<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is a literary gamebook inspired by theories of the multiverse. Each time the reader makes a choice, the universe of the narrative splits, creating a story in which all outcomes exist at the same time but cannot be experienced concurrently. A cross between a Pick Your Own Path<\/em> novel and an existential crisis, this book invites you to meander through its paths, and towards your own conclusions.<\/p>\n

A shopping mall self-destructs, and a single mother vanishes. A tree house for orphans and old folks is torn apart by an act of mercy. The Singapore Flyer is reinvented as a political prison.

A former newspaper correspondent, she interviews nine architects about chimeric structures and sets short stories in them. A hybrid of journalism and fiction, Dream Storeys <\/em>documents the voices of urban visionaries, while taking their ideas into inventive, evocative new territories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
