Superstate cover

In a world dominated by an oppressive regime, Superstate explores rebellion and resilience through 15 surreal tales of defiance and hope.

In Superstate, the world is under the iron grip of an omnipresent authority, where the concept of freedom is a distant memory. Yoga Town, a city starkly divided, serves as the backdrop for this unsettling narrative. The elite, comprising the 1%, navigate a reality where their whims dictate existence, living in a realm devoid of consequences. In stark contrast, the majority finds themselves ensnared in a government-sanctioned digital dreamscape, numbed by substances that dull their senses as they await their inevitable demise on a decaying planet.

Yet, amidst this bleak landscape, glimmers of hope emerge. Angels, ethereal beings of rebellion and change, traverse the earth, offering a lifeline to those willing to rise against the oppressive regime. These celestial figures inspire a group of spirited individuals to challenge the status quo, igniting a flicker of resistance against the overwhelming power of the Superstate. The tales unfold through a series of surreal and disturbing narratives that explore themes of autonomy, rebellion, and the human spirit's resilience.

Superstate presents 15 unique stories filled with bizarre encounters, from rebellious fembots to chaotic celebrity turkey shoots, and even violent astral projections. This collection invites readers to navigate a world where the absurd meets the profound, ultimately questioning the nature of reality and the fight for freedom in a controlled society.
