Central Station (2016) is a mosaic novel set in and around a massive spaceport in a future Tel Aviv. The book weaves together stories of the people who live near the station: former soldiers with embedded battle memories, data-vampires who feed on digital information, and children born to robotic caregivers. The novel won the John W. Campbell Memorial Award.

Neom (2022) returns to the same universe, this time set in a city on the Red Sea coast. Together, the two books build a richly imagined future where technology has transformed human society but not the fundamental needs for connection, purpose, and belonging.
