- The Dartmouth Speculative Fiction Project paired eight faculty members with eight veteran speculative fiction authors to create an anthology titled 'Android in the Archives'.
- The story follows a detective hired by a pastor's son to find Maria Haddid, a CFO who disappeared from a church that uses debt redemption and baptism.
- Maria had restructured the church's debt, faked her disappearance to escape a finance man with metal eyes, and planned to start a new life with her lover Susan.
- The detective helps Maria escape, confronting a robotic dog and a rival financier, while themes of faith, debt, and speculative futures are explored.
