Eupocalypse is the word invented by Peri Dwyer Worrell to denote the world that is nascent in the current global unraveling. An emergent higher order is evolving from trillions of decentralized inputs, interacting both mechanistically and superpositionally.
Peri Dwyer Worrell writes fiction and poetry that incorporates the eupocalyptic worldview and honors it in the form of story and language, The books currently available on this website are:
Machine Sickness (Book 1) is a post-apocalyptic utopian novel. The main character, a disillusioned environmental microbiologist, is caught up in the dissolution of civilization as we know it. She quickly realizes she is the unwitting source of it, as she’s been betrayed by a devious colleague. Cycling through multiple viewpoints, the book also offers new perspectives on life in flyover America, with unique and unapologetic perspectives on its real diversity. Another vision glimpsed in the book is the dawning, via catastrophe, of an era of radical decentralization, ushered in by a disaster which destroys the structures of command and control that shape our lives.
Watch It Burn (Book 2) zooms out to encompass the Bohai Bay collapse and its aftermath, as well as the changes at AFRICOM in Djibouti, in the Horn of Africa. Intense exploration of disturbing religious traditions in African folk Islam (specifically FGM [female genital mutilation]), interweaves with an improbable international love story. We also revisit the characters from Book 1, but the story doesn’t always take them where you might expect. Freedom of speech and journalism are also explored as the remains of the US government attempt to take control of the vestiges of the press in order to re-establish its command and control.
Catallaxis (Book 3) is the sweeping conclusion of the stories of the first two books and a visionary expansion of the concepts and speculative technologies introduced therein. Consequences are reckoned, fledgling empires built, and ever-afters made happy.
Breathe Together is a chapbook of poetry that emerged from her experiences during the pandemic restrictions and the resulting personal crises in her life and relationships.
