Fair Enough
A man builds an AI that saves his business and hollows out his neighbourhood.
Howard Heirs fixes furnaces for a living in Scarborough, Ontario — until the System he built to save the family business starts making everyone around him redundant. Set in a near-future Toronto, in the tradition of Kurt Vonnegut's Player Piano. The novel you can finish in an evening.
The Series
The Service Area
Six standalone, loosely related near-future Ontario novels by Dewar Yearns about work, dignity, and what happens to people when the systems around them get better at their lives than they are. Each comes from a different corner of the province and a different kind of work — and you can start anywhere.

Small Press, Big Questions
An imprint for the in-between
Millennial Press is an independent publishing imprint based in Toronto, Ontario. We publish works that sit at the intersection of technology, work, and what it means to be human in an age of acceleration.
We believe the best stories don't just reflect the world — they help us understand it. Our catalogue focuses on voices willing to ask uncomfortable questions and sit with complicated answers, beginning with Dewar Yearns and The Service Area — near-future Ontario fiction set where most people actually live.
Millennial Press is a division of Ayres Capital Enterprises LTD.
Our Focus
What we publish
Literary Fiction
Character-driven stories that explore the human side of technological and cultural change — where the stakes are personal.
Technology & Culture
Non-fiction that examines how technology reshapes communities, work, and identity — without the Silicon Valley cheerleading.
Canadian Voices
A particular interest in stories rooted in Canadian places and perspectives — the suburbs, the in-between spaces, the overlooked.
