It starts in the middle. In the Caribbean. It slowly follows the strict form of a narrative spiral through cycles of destruction. Then it moves back to our present so we can see our world becoming the other one. Its protagonist is a collective consciousness, the Animal. It is born. It grows and learns. It dies. It is mourned by cybernetic goddesses. It also screams: Loneliness is a collective disease! We defend our right to madness! Brave are not the ones who resist; brave are the ones who let go!
