On Certainty

<b>Lyrical poems that tell the story of a nameless woman navigating a technological dystopia.</b><br>  <br> In the poems of <i>On Certainty</i> an unnamed woman in a strangely familiar dystopia narrates a story of power and decline where the Tyrant has gained ascendency and the Philosopher is dying. Here the Tyrant rules over a decimated ecology filled with android deer burnt towns and exhausted individuals dependent on virtual reality augmentation. In choosing whether to take the Philosopher's place in a struggle against the Tyrant the narrator must consider how her decision may perpetuate the currently existing catastrophic systems.<br>  <br> Weaving together speculative fiction philosophical aphorism lyric fragment and documentary technique <i>On Certainty</i> echoes the contemporary world that can feel simultaneously quotidian and strange.
