After the Streams: When Silence Breaks

A new book. Nine perspectives. One question: What happens when you can't unhear the truth?

After the Streams is out now—and we're giving it away for free.

Why? Because some truths need to spread faster than capitalism can commodify them.

This is dystopian allegory that names what late capitalism does to people. Systems that grind up humans while calling it opportunity. The silence that protects those systems. What happens when that silence breaks.

This collection follows nine people whose lives collided with the testimony of Teal Weaver, who got ground through the machine and came out the other side refusing to stay silent. When a purple-haired survivor started streaming about legal slavery, naming the complicit, the world had to listen.

Some people changed. One got worse. Some had been screaming all along.

After the Streams is Book 2 in The Returned series, but you should read it first. These nine stories show the impact of Teal's truth from every angle: the almost-victim, the sibling, the worker, the artist, the buyer, the expert, the family, the survivor. You'll understand what happened—and why it matters—before diving into Teal's full story in Lot 722.

Content Note

This book addresses legal slavery, systemic exploitation, trauma, complicity, and survival. Restraint is maintained—no graphic depictions—but the honesty is unflinching. Please read the full content warning before diving in.
