Welcome to Somnesthesia™
Brought to you by the dreamers at Antidrome, Inc.
By Daniel Dw
A darkly satirical, psychotropic plunge into the future of work, dreams, and delusion.
Brian Marcosa is just your average underpaid graphic designer—if average means cosmically insignificant, spiritually bankrupt, and aggressively daydream-prone. Trapped in the bureaucratic hellscape of Trite Essentials L.L.C., Brian is one meaningless memo away from collapse. But when he receives a mysterious black pill labeled "ANTIDROME," his life disintegrates into a corporate onboarding experience from another dimension.
Narrated by Brian’s own sardonic, self-loathing mind, Welcome to Somnesthesia™ is a hallucinatory descent through cubicle purgatory, motivational video brainwashing, and algorithmically monetized dreams. Somewhere between a startup's vision board and a dissociative episode, Antidrome Inc. is rebranding death itself—and Brian may have been selected as their next Dream Architect.
Equal parts Office Space, Brazil, and Black Mirror—if rewritten by the ghost of Philip K. Dick in a manic episode—this novel blends absurdist horror, corporate satire, and existential sci-fi to ask: What happens when your imagination is no longer yours?
Your dreams will build the future. Whether you want them to or not.
