Neuromachina

The Digital Dark Ages are here.

On postsingularity Earth a society has been formed, a society of new beings, who know one another though they have never seen one another, who understand one another without explanations, who serve one another without relationship.

Neuromachina is a sort of surreal posthuman appendix. A metanarrative about the mutation and transformation of simulated human bodies within the nonstory of a virtual matrix. The narrator of this computational universe isn’t human but a manipulator of simulacra. In a literal sense, the narrator is these simulacra.

Brandon W. Teigland is a Canadian speculative fiction writer largely concerned with pioneering the posthuman as a literary phenomenon, inviting the reader to construct significance out of ruptures, juxtapositions, and implied links. He is the author of the novels Under a Collapsing Sky (2021) and Metapatterning for Disconnection (2023).
