The 1967 Philip K Dick story "Faith of Our Fathers" (Wiki: Tung Chien is a Vietnamese bureaucrat in a world conquered by the Chinese...) was my gateway read to many of the 36 Streets universe's underpinnings. Are you familiar with it? If not, may I recommend it to you and to your readers? Just thought that you and OG PKD being fellow travelers in world building might be good words to share. More! Soon! Please!

Hi David. Cheers for your question - only just saw it now. I just looked over my bookshelves and saw that yes, I have this story (surprising if I didn't, given I pretty much have everything PKD ever wrote). I will re-read it though, because honestly I cannot remember the story.
Hopefully I will have more soon (and I do have more), but publishing is a fickle beast. Let's see how 36 Streets goes.

A true pleasure to see antipodean sensibilities take root and blossom in your work, worthy successors to a similar energy in old school PKD's 'Faith of Our Fathers', Cordwainer Smith's 'Norstrilia', and M.K. Joseph's 'The Hole in the Zero'. You mentioned in a previous response that 'Faith' was a 'very probably', just wondering if you've ever read 'Norstrilla' or 'Hole'?
