A Fungal Archive of the Collapse
Eight spores at a time. One volume per threshold.
Each Sporebook traces the unraveling of Homo-Carbonicus, the carbon-addicted species who mistook combustion for consciousness. Through fungal recollection and narrative forensics, we witness how progress became a spell, property a severance, and optimization a quiet god. Told in spores—eight per volume—they carry memory, not chronology.
We publish them one at a time. Slowly.
Because speed is part of the spell we’re composting.
The fist volume will be available in August 2026.
A fungal forensic archive of the delusions that defined modernity: progress, ownership, optimization, and the invention of “The Human.” The rot had already begun.
Where virtue masks theft, righteousness replaces humility, and performance replaces relation. The elite climb collapse like a career ladder—and call it care.
The nervous system shakes. The seasons fracture. Trust unravels in institutions, in time itself. Story breaks open—and something older begins to seep through.
Behind the curtains of control: AI, psychedelics, techno-moralism, and the mythology of clarity. The prodigies of harm make their final moves. But the spell falters.
