Salt, steel, and second sight in 2026
Morgan Robertson writes ships and crews with exact detail, then tilts them toward the strange. Technology, rumor, and fate share the deck. Read him to enjoy salt and steel, to study early techno thriller rhythm, and to ask how prediction and chance play in public memory.
