Pedro ParrachiaEclipsepunk - stress testing visions of better futures
This is draft is being co-written with an AI, an anon and the people of Floristic. It’s been shared here as we learn and build in public.What do you see when you close your eyes and imagine the future? Do you picture a bleak, dark world ravaged by climate change and war? Or do you envision a brighter tomorrow, where science and technology have solved our biggest problems? Whichever vision of the future you choose to believe in, it's important to remember that it's just that – a visi...
Pedro ParrachiaA love letter to the gods of natural selection
I wake up to an ocean acidified by fracking, irradiated from Fukushima, and permeated by microplastics. Such endless cascades of avoidable catastrophes led to green-tinted waves and orange-cast skies. Did you know that before the emergence of oxygen, before it nearly exterminated life and forced the rest to adapt, those were the colors of the world? In these quiet, reflective moments, my mind wanders to what I imagine as the pantheon of natural selection, a once-majestic assembly of forces th...
Pedro ParrachiaA love letter to my writing self
Dear writing self, I'm done writing ghost stories. Once upon a time, writing felt like a lonely journey. Now, after so many journeys, I have come to realize that writers are never truly alone in our writing. We are haunted by memory and culture, guided by our ancestors – yet even our inner demons of guilt, shame and fear can be embraced. Within us lies entire worlds within worlds, waiting to be discovered. It was in this ensemble I found you, this bricolage of self-expression and frolick...

"What Radicalized Your Future-Self: A Digital Bouquet" is an anthology and debate-by-curation that invites us to transform our collective grief over environmental collapse into a catalyst for action. Through collaborative storytelling, the project envisions near-future scenarios where ordinary people, radicalized by impending systemic collapses and disasters, become agents of change.
The project weaves together stories set in near-future scenarios where systemic collapses—be it environmental disasters, cyber-feudalism, monopolistic control, or social inequality—trigger the radicalization of everyday individuals. These narratives explore how people, pushed to their limits by failing systems, choose to confront oppressive structures and cultivate new modes of resistance and resilience. By weaving speculative narratives with real-world data and references, the anthology creates a bridge between imagination, memory and action.
Our digital garden serves as a living archive and interactive platform, connecting these fictional tales with real-world data, grassroots movements, and institutional efforts. By intertwining storytelling with factual references, we blur the lines between imagination and reality, encouraging readers not just to envision more equitable futures but to actively participate in creating them.
