When people think of science fiction, they picture spaceships, futuristic cities, and advanced technology. But at its core, sci-fi has always been about people.
That’s why Wounded Wonders takes such a bold approach. Rather than setting its story in a far-off galaxy, Aaron Toronto grounds his novel in a suburban family home. Bruce Dennison’s life is messy, ordinary, and relatable—until it begins to fracture in extraordinary ways.
The conflict between Bruce and his wife Dana, their children, and the creeping presence of betrayal transforms the story from a typical AI tale into something more profound: a reflection on how love and trust shape the human condition, even as technology threatens to redefine it.
By weaving psychological suspense with speculative science, Toronto reminds us that the future of humanity won’t be decided in laboratories or boardrooms alone—it will be fought and won in kitchens, bedrooms, and families like our own.
Readers of Blake Crouch, Mitch Albom, or Philip K. Dick will find themselves at home here—pulled into a story where personal wounds become cosmic tests.
