Geoffrey Taber writes essays, cultural criticism, and speculative fiction at the intersection of philosophy, technology, and civilizational drift. His work asks what is possible after the load-bearing myths give out, and what kind of life can be built in the open air.
He is the author of two books. Fracturism: A Philosophy for the Fractured Age is a field guide for people who have noticed the fractures and decided to stop looking away. Listening, the first novel in the Collapse Chronicles series, is what Fracturism was always pointing at: the question of what a person actually does, day by day, after the world they were built to serve stops existing.
His broader writing, including poetry, serialized fiction, criticism, and the original Collapse Chronicles dispatches that became Listening, lives at geox.blog. He is currently at work on Volume II of the series. He lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with his wife, two golden labs, and two cats.
