Under his instruction, the duke’s men dug a cistern to channel a river. They cheered when fevered infants in a nearby colony woke drinking water clear as glass and laughter.

The poor saw their names on lists and not their needs fulfilled; the elite bought bottled sunsets by the crate. Hedonia’s outputs, once removed from the island’s soil and sold as products, became island-colored mirrors that multiplied the world’s divides. Inside Hedonia: bioluminescent gardens
