About the book
Homebound
by Portia Elan
An unfinished computer game left to a grieving teenager in the 1980s sets off connections that reach centuries into the future. A researcher confronting artificial intelligence and a seafaring scavenger become part of its continuing story. Their linked lives explore creativity, technological inheritance, queer identity, and the search for a place to belong.
