Picture
​Wiggins is a retired lecturer focused on the creation of dioramas.  In a future world where the natural world has changed dramatically, the past has been delicately preserved in dioramas of every size.  Wiggins idolizes Michaux, a famed dioramist known for a certain style and technique.  Michaux himself is part of a diorama now, but an even more intriguing prospect appears when Wiggins is invited to visit The Town. The Town is an entire world in a diorama, where people are the main attraction.  Exploring The Town is a process and Wiggins begins to see the truth behind the façade of the dioramas. 

Dioramas is a unique work of speculative fiction. This was a different reading experience for me, the reading is in shorter snippets from the point of view of Wiggins as he studies each diorama.  The dioramas are mostly of the distant past, but some seem to be from a more current past or present time. There is not a lot of context or world building and it was a little unsettling to read each snippet where the dioramas described are just slightly off kilter, yet completely intriguing and kept me wanting to read more and explore the next, small world in the dioramas. The Town was completely intriguing and I loved exploring all of the curious knicks and crannies through Wiggins' point of view.  Dioramas is a detail-oriented immersive and thought provoking work
