Seascraper

Seascraper is an atmospheric, slow-burning novel set in a futuristic oceanic city built upon a colossal floating structure. Benjamin Wood crafts a narrative that’s equal parts architectural marvel, political allegory, and human drama. The protagonist, an engineer drawn into the city’s labyrinthine power struggles, discovers that beneath the gleaming surface lies a tangle of secrets and betrayals. Wood’s descriptions of the seascraper itself are breathtaking — a character in its own right — while his portrayal of ambition, corruption, and moral compromise is razor-sharp. The novel blends suspense with philosophical inquiry, making it as intellectually engaging as it is compulsively readable.
