Dispatches from the Future... The Rise of Apollonia Green... A Nomadic Non-Apocalyptic Future 〰️

A woman in a flowing green dress decorated with plant and leaf patterns at a podium in a large futuristic hall. Large screens depict a green cityscape with the U.S. Capitol, and screens depicting celestial objects and data.

In 2073, #VanLife will be a national and international socio-political movement.  

What if Deadheads and Nomads were 30% of the US population?

What if they ran a candidate for President?  

Dispatches chronicles one journalist’s journey with the Nomad Party, seeking exclusive access to their candidate, Apollonia Green.  She may be our next president, and possibly the Stater community’s worst nightmare. Told in immersive, long-form magazine dispatches, the novel blends speculative solarpunk futurism with a developing political drama, exploring resilience, creativity, and collaboration in a world that refuses the apocalyptic narrative.

What Did It Take?

Imagine a future where for one brief moment, via a fungal mycelial network, we all share in each others’ consciousness.

We resist it.

We succumb to it.

And then it’s gone.
