6/28/2023 0 Comments Future feeling joss lake![]() ![]() ![]() The Illuminati-esque trans society rounds up the myopic troika to disentangle the mess they’ve made of one another. Instead, the hex ricochets onto Blithe, a sensitive and apprehensive writer. Henderson, who tries to use his beloved aloe plant Alice to curse Aiden. The sickeningly spiritually aligned Aiden Chase is so discriminating he has a pet goose his posts on “the Gram” are idolized and reviled by disgruntled dog-walker Penfield R. The novel triangulates among three trans men caught in a dangerous loop of ruining one another’s emotional landscapes. I say this to Lake over a video call, and he nods like he’s giving himself and everyone else permission: “You don’t have to stay in the social-realist world.”įuture Feeling’s title announces the formidable force that emotions hold in this futuristic world. And all of this feels as accurately expressive of my own brain’s worldview (feelings! Colors! Queer stuff!) as anything else. ![]() Emotional frequencies are of the utmost importance. Everyone’s spiritual state is highly surveilled and fantastically color-coded: “A Bio-meter would have beamed marigold with ‘social-justice-related awkwardness.’” Subway cars glow the amalgamated color of their passengers’ moods. In the world of Joss Lake’s queer, synesthetic, dystopian novel Future Feeling, avocados don’t have pits and an Illuminati-type trans council undercuts nefarious capitalist influences by teleporting sexy, stern angel-mentors to fix problems.
