Psyence Fiction

The future has arrived, but there's something distinctly wrong with it.  Robots that were meant to abolish human labour are creating mass unemployment because political systems aren’t evolving as fast as our technology. Virtual Gaming Economies are outstripping some small nations, telecommunications breakthroughs have brought us porn on our video phones, and Smart-Mobs roam the urban jungles, manifesting the sublime and shaking consumers from their retail addictions.

Psyence Fiction is a collection of fourteen short stories that capture the spirit of the decade and the psychedelic, hi-tech future we live in. Illustrated by some of Australia's best underground artists and photographers, the e-book is a glimpse at the brave nu world around us and the bold characters that struggle to survive it. Originally published by Undergrowth Inc in 2005 from stories visioned at the turn of the millennium by author Rak Razam. Click on an image below to read a PDF story or download the PDF in full.
