Annabel Scheme and the Adventure of the New Golden Gate

This is a detective story about all the possible versions of a place. It features a bustling city built on a filled-in San Francisco Bay, a pop star tech genius named Quintessandra, a sea witch, and internet teeth. Excerpted from Robin Sloan's Note to Readers: "This story was initially published as a daily serial in two Bay Area newspapers, the Mercury News and East Bay Times, in 2020. It ran from June 7 to June 21. ... This adventure is neither sequel nor prequel to the original Annabel Scheme novella published in 2009. It is instead...another possibility. Scheme fans will understand."
