Science Fiction with Meaning
The glint of flexing steel skin and the challenges it brings to its owner. An alien language, whispered in a dream telling truths no one wants to know. Towers a thousand miles tall populated by coarse corporate overlords and surrounded by its impoverished workers.
Explore the hopes and dreams you have for science and technology. Plumb the depths as they go awry and turn on their masters.
Shock: Social Science Fiction is a fiction game that gives you the tools to tell those stories, to build a world and people it with the characters that make it work the way you want it to.
Author Ben Lehman’s original story Who Art in Heaven, taken from an actual game of Shock: is included with running rules explanation.

Hey, Paul! Let’s make some time to sit down and play at the con, then!
Mmm orangy…
I’m really looking forward to this. The world needs more thoughful science fiction games.
Then I look forward to you playing it, Matt!
Joshua,
When works for you? I’m going to be chained to Adventure Retail booth most of the show, so I have to make the most of my chances to get away. Either that, or it’ll need to be outside of show floor hours.
–Paul
Oh, I’ll be in a similar sitch. Definitely after hours wherever the nightly afterparty will be this year.
You bastard! Not emailing me about it? 😛
I’ll pre-order still, even though I’m late, take that, hah!
FINE.
Then.
Just… pre-order it! SEE IF I CARE!
(I care.)
I did, where’s my cookie?
It’ll be packed with the book.
Anyone else want a cookie?
