INTO Rubble

By Geoffrey Dean

Overview


Hark! A new Feudal age is on the horizon! INTO Rubble is the first collection of The Convergence Documentaries: a satirical alternative history told through the voices of its People. This is a story by the People, for the People; vulgar and apocalyptic! We've been on the brink of apocalypse since our ancient ancestors conceived of the thing, and they don't want you to forget it! So forget your troubles and witness a familiar landscape fall into complete and total debauchery. Rifle through a dense text with ample room in the margins for doodles or notes! And for those who suffer from short attention spans and dopamine addictions, you'll find something to distract with thin, colorful lines and shapes on every page! So laugh, cry, and be appalled in this ever collapsing Empire! WARNING: Side effects may include emotional responses to fictional characters, a brewing rage, nausea, and full body cringe.

Description


In 2011, a Great Plague swept through the world as the H1N1 pandemic took the lives of a third of the United States' population. Most of the Millennial and Gen-Z children did not survive, and those who did were hailed as saviors. In response to the loss of their children, the Representatives of the United States' population poured all of the nation's resources into Health and Medicine - fearing the inevitable collapse of the People. Luckily, they found military interest in synthetic tissue and prosthetics as their youngest warriors were not so young anymore.The war machine was fed by fathers and uncles in a short-sided attempt to reclaim a dying economy. What follows is more than 200 years of history told through the voices of artists, authors, podcasters, politicians, thought leaders, smugglers, and those swept up by the tides of change in a documentary of a past which will never come to pass.

About The Author


I am a storyteller, crafting similar worlds to ours to explore difficult conversations and make sense of the world. My work straddles the line between prose and poetry, seeking out new ways to speak through writing with the hope that others may write back. I believe everyone has a story to tell, a fear to face, a reality to accept, a doubt to overcome, a delusion to displace, an ear to listen, and a natural goodness to share. There is a voice inside each of us with a desire to cry out amidst uncertainty, one which isn't only spoken from the tongue, one which finds life through writing, music, film, paint, charcoal, conversation, or any other expressive form. We are given a voice because it's in our nature to express, to question, to be curious, to challenge convention, and to strive for enriching experiences for the one life we've all been gifted. Fear comes from us all, and I'm determined not to let it take hold again. You have a voice, others are already speaking, billions have already spoken, and I aim to encourage all who listen to use their voice. Time is an invaluable resource, always in high demand and in short supply, so from the bottom of my heart: I am eternally grateful to have occupied yours.
