Foreword

NOTE: This novel is general fiction; it is neither science fiction nor fantasy. An edited version may very well may end up in the "autobiography" or "memoir" section one day, but to encourage "spur of the moment" writing, it will stay classified as "fictional" for now.

fermi surface: "The surface of the Fermi sphere, which separates the occupied from the unoccupied levels..."
Definition taken from pg. 36 of Solid-State Physics by Ashcroft & Mermin.

This novel was inspired by the National Novel Writing Month "competition", a challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in no more than thirty days. Anyone who completes the task is a winner, so I encourage you to join.

As the title reflects, this novel is primarily concerned with a preoccupation of things both above and below the proverbial surface. What any of these terms mean is entirely up to you. As a general disclaimer, I will say that none of the characters (with the obvious exception of myself) are intended to reflect anyone I or you may know in real life. However, as it draws heavily on personal experience, you may find yourself suspecting that this not the case. That is not my concern, though I hope that prospect entertains you in any and every respect.

Enjoy.
