Paradise Beyond Pulse eBook
A dystopian fantasy poetry collection set in a near future shaped by quiet systems of technology, optimization, and controlled stillness. This work explores what remains when evolution is no longer natural, but engineered toward a final, human-made ideal.

Paradise Beyond Pulse opens a world where calm is constructed, emotion is measured, and perfection masks subtle fractures beneath its surface. Beneath this engineered harmony, something unresolved continues to move.
After the Great Optimisation, a privileged faction—known as the Systoics—integrated themselves fully into the system. By aligning, refining, and removing all internal resistance, they sought to perfect the human condition. In this reality, needs are met before they arise, desire is neutralized, and stillness becomes the dominant state.
This collection invites readers into a space where technology and emotion coexist in quiet tension, and where the absence of friction comes at a cost.
