Speculative Fiction About Systems, Memory, and Quiet Rupture
Simon Imuwika writes speculative fiction that examines what institutions protect, what they bury, and what resurfaces despite careful administration. His novels explore how authority operates through procedure, how history is edited through structure rather than force, and how private experience collides with public order in moments of quiet fracture.
The tension is structural, the threat often subtle, and the consequences enduring.
Featured Novel
THE SHARD BENEATH
A rising London tower. A suspicious fire. A buried history that refuses to stay buried. The Shard Beneath follows architect Oba Ajayi as a flagship development becomes entangled with a missing fragment, a contested legacy, and a chain of power stretching from London to Lagos.
What begins as a modern struggle over design, planning, and investment opens into something older and more charged: a story about memory, ownership, erased names, and what lies under the smooth surface of progress. As Oba is pulled deeper into a web of syndicates, sabotage, public hearings, and ancestral truth, he must decide whether he is simply building another landmark or uncovering an obligation the city has spent decades trying not to hear.
Rich in atmosphere and driven by tension, this is a literary political thriller about architecture, inheritance, and the price of building over the past.
Across the Divide
Across the Divide is an emotionally rich novel about love, identity, and belonging, shaped by distance, expectation, and cultural difference as it moves between Britain and the Philippines and follows two people drawn together across personal and social boundaries while confronting the histories, loyalties, and fears that stand between them. Tender, layered, and full of emotional tension, the novel explores what it means to choose connection when family, culture, and self protection pull in other directions.
About Simon Imuwika
Simon Imuwika writes speculative fiction shaped by systems thinking and historical awareness, focusing on procedural authority, contested records, and the human cost of decisions made in offices, archives, and planning rooms. Rather than explosive futures, his work examines subtle escalations and the tension between public stability and private truth, where conflict is rarely loud but often structural.
