A man comes across a company called Emotional Solids that sells emotions as material products--love as a piece of chocolate, sadness as a smooth stone, anger as a glass paperweight--and tries to understand why people would want to purchase any negative emotions. When an enigmatic artist reveals long-forgotten messages from beyond through her wildly original paintings portraying a planet from a time long before humanity formed, a team of researchers investigate if this planet truly existed and if so, how did this artist know of it? After a pregnant woman's estranged mother dies suddenly, her avatar disappears from the library of lost souls where the digital minds of the deceased are stored--and the woman is forced, for the first time, to endeavor to understand her mother. In a future utopian society where gene selection has been made uniform and all those with imperfections are cast aside, one woman seeks the truth about the history of her isolated world.

Told from the perspectives of people caught in the crosshairs of the struggle, the stories in this collection are linked by the character \"Old Music,\" an Ekumen ambassador who is secretly working as an abolitionist and supporter of Yeowe's emancipation.
