A glitching love letter to a collapsing world Wavering Futures spirals through survival and the soft ruins of tomorrow. Wavering Futures is a shape-shifting collection of experimental and speculative fiction and nonfiction prose, fragments that hold space for doubt, intimacy, collapse, and erotic candour. Written from the edge of ecological and emotional breakdown, these short, vivid vignettes refuse easy categories or easy answers. Across three sections--Imaginary Utopias, Imminent Collapse, and Survival Tactics--the book explores how we relate, resist, and reimagine ourselves in moments of personal and planetary crisis. Whether through moments of quiet connection, surreal detachment, or collective dreaming, Wavering Futures leans into instability not as failure, but as invitation. With a style that is lucid, fragmented, and full of surprise, this debut offers a soft yet searing look at the strange beauty of living through a time of threats and contradictions. Wavering Futures is a collection written for anyone who feels unmoored by the present, but unwilling to give up on what comes next.
