Description
What would happen if humanity woke up with hyperempathy (i.e. "vibe-psychic")? Psychofauna is a crazy blend of fantasy & sci-fi. It follows a few maladjusted protagonists who are forced to navigate a world of living ideas. A kaleidoscopic variety of myths, memes, sentient ideologies are all vying for control of collective consciousness. You know, just like our world. 😛 --- Inspirations include: • Nexus Trilogy by Ramez Naam • Quantum Thief trilogy by Hannu Rajaniemi • Too Like the Lightening by Ada Palmer • Neverness quadrilogy by David Zindell • Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer • The Mirror Sea by @phaseborn • Daemon duology by Daniel Suarez • Station Eleven by Emily Mandel • The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss • Unstable Orbits in the Space of Lies by Greg Egan • Understand by Ted Chiang • Promethea by Alan Moore • The Invisibles by Grant Morrison • There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm • 2nd Apocalypse series & specifically its Dûnyain by R Scott Bakker • Dune & specifically its Bene Gesserit by Frank Herbet • Foundation & specifically the mentallics of the 2nd Foundation by Isaac Asimov • Tolstoy, for his brilliant depictions of psychodynamics
