—Adult Immanence: A Fractal Novel
Abstract: Giordano Bruno wasn't burnt at the stake by the Catholic Church because his theory of Infinite Worlds was incorrect. On the contrary, in a dystopian parallel reality the American public has become ominously literate. These previously lemming-like citizens now suddenly prefer to consume elegantly composed texts in their free-time, no longer experiencing a deep-seeded need to watch grown men play videogames on smartphone apps. Enter N. Enrique Iglesias, a previously successful, bilingual-adjacent livestreamer, and Curtis J. [Redacted], a surprisingly literate bisexual pornographer. Together these two best friends are forced to navigate what it means to make an honest living in a late capitalist world that's increasingly obsessed with reading and writing.
