Dream State Zero: Unclassified Short Stories Collection 2025
In Dream State Zero, the boundaries between memory and invention, reality and illusion, consciousness and code dissolve into a shimmering tapestry of speculative fiction.
This collection of eighteen short stories explores unclassifiable narratives that span quantum dreams, alternate timelines, transhuman futures, haunting déjà vu, and mythic echoes disguised as modern life. From a girl reliving her dreams as real-world events, to an AI silently shaping human evolution, to a ramen shop entangled with past lives and karmic debts... each story dares to What if what we forget is more real than what we remember?
Blending philosophical depth with emotional resonance, these tales offer both chilling possibilities and luminous truths. Whether through metaphysical mystery, futuristic speculation, or eerie encounters, each piece invites readers to question the nature of time, identity, and destiny.
For fans of Ted Chiang, Black Mirror, Jorge Luis Borges, and those curious about the dream behind the dream.
