They believe Ria has the potential be one as well. She wakes in a man’s body, in the company of an old woman named Kara and a talking otter named Lute. What should have been a lethal workplace mishap sends Ria’s body to the hospital and her mind across the timelines. Nobody on the Federation’s Earth, that is. Perplexing dreams of worlds where history turned out very differently. Already on PSI’s radar thanks to a traumatic childhood kidnapping, Ria has no friend with whom she dares discuss her dreams. Surrounded by co-workers who could at any moment betray her to PSI, Ria tries to avoid attracting the wrong sort of attention. Ria is all three, thanks to her bizarre dreams. Worst of all, the mental health authority PSI has sweeping powers to detect, detain, and treat the unhappy, perplexed, and nonconformist. After years of chaos, Earth was unified under the Federation, an oppressive nanny state that subjects its citizens to peace, happiness, and art by people who aren’t white. Ria Legarde lives in a world shaped by a great disaster in 1985 and the anti-tech backlash that followed. Sandra Miesel’s 1982 Dreamrider is a standalone science fiction novel.
