When disillusioned journalist Greg Winslow goes undercover at SCARF—a cutting-edge research lab experimenting with “spatial reframing”—he expects buzzwords, bureaucracy, and maybe a quirky pull-quote for Wired. What he finds instead is a place that warps reality itself. There are no test subjects. No science for the sake of man's advancement. Just four unnervingly calm female scientists and a cylindrical pod they call the Sapphix Cradle. Listening to his shrinking experience on five discovered old tapes, Jenna makes plans for tiny Greg.
