Owner’s Manual
The Catalog of 2027 Technologies
Owner’s Manual is a beautifully designed artifact from a world that does not exist — a precision-engineered guide to a speculative technology presented with total sincerity. Written and art-directed as if recovered from a near future, it blurs the line between product documentation, conceptual design, and literary fiction. Part design object, part quiet satire, it’s a gift for designers, engineers, and anyone fascinated by how systems shape belief. 8.5×11 Hardcover. 110 pages. 60+ full color images.
The Interval
Colossal discs rise from the oceans and begin rolling inland at five miles per hour. They do not attack or communicate; they simply advance. As identical forms emerge across the globe, governments calculate, institutions adapt, and ordinary people gather at the shifting edge, forced to live alongside something vast and indifferent. The Interval is a literary speculative novel about time, systems, and how humanity reorganizes itself when the incomprehensible refuses to negotiate.
5.5×8.5 Hardcover. 220 pages. Premium cream paper. Author signed.
Perívallo
Volume I The Book of the Living Moon April Release
Perívallo is not a place in the ordinary sense, but a living moon—ancient, self-maintaining, and indifferent to observers. When a dormant spore is discovered beneath Earth’s ocean floor, no ships arrive and no voices speak; instead, a single human mind is briefly aligned with a system that has spent aeons learning how not to damage itself. The revelation is quiet—and irreversible. Book of the Living Moon records that recognition: the difference between a world shaped by competition and one shaped by restraint.
A 92-page illustrated volume with atmospheric graphite plates by Neil Powell.
