Unlock Now Letters To The Black Underground Illustrated By Yelena Calavera Available As Digital Version
really interesting book which would appeal to readers of scifi, futurism or psychospirituality/Magick,
Although set in a futuristic world it addresses some of the key fundamentals to the way in which
technology and AI manipulate our lives today, an issue we cant ignore!
The two aspects which set it apart for me were the dreamers who never gave up the faith and their “power” despite being hidden and the protagonist Anna who seemed very real, in a perfectly flawed way.
This is it, folks! The absolutely essential dreampunk novel you didn't even know you were looking for! Highly recommended for lovers of Philip K.
Dick, Carl Jung, Ursula Le Guin, Neil Gaiman, and J, G. Ballard. A perfect blend of science fiction, fantasy, and spirituality, If this book emerges as the quintessential example of dreampunk like Neuromancer did for cyberpunk, then I will be completely satisfied though naturally a bit jealous because that's what I've been trying to write.
Annas job is to create voice recordings of subliminally encoded advertisements and propagate them to Virtual Archetypes groups of citizens with very distinct sets of character traits whose lives have been mapped out from early childhood to old age by the range of products they will consume at each stage of the evolution of their identities.
She gets involved with a rebel faction known as the Black Underground and becomes entangled in an operation that could plunge mankind over the edge of the abyss.
Letters to the Black Underground is a novel about what we might do in order to be free in an age dominated by information, where the sum total of who we are has dwindled down to the size of a social media avatar, and capitalism has become a freewheeling experiment that is endangering life as we know it.
It explores how consumptive narcissism has degraded our ability to be intimate, and examines the effects of the corrosive forces at the heart of modern society.
