The Solaris Satellites were a short novella imprint from Rebellion Publishing’s Solaris line, releasing three novellas in 2021 by three different authors — a format that allowed readers to sample new voices at a lower commitment than a full novel.
These Lifeless Things is Premee Mohamed’s contribution: a post-apocalyptic novella told through a survivor’s journal found fifty years after the disaster and interpreted by an anthropologist in the present. The structure gives Mohamed space to work with unreliable documentation and historical distance, questions that recur in her longer work. The novella appeared in February 2021, at the same time as much of her most productive short fiction output.
The other two Solaris Satellites — The Difficult Loves of Maria Makiling by Wayne Santos and Pollen From a Future Harvest by Derek Künsken — were published in the same series in 2021 and complete this three-novella set.
