About this listen
Meet Jake Fidellius: an unintentional hero of the absurd, adrift in a world where cappuccinos, algorithms, and the tiniest choices can reveal the deepest truths. From the quiet corners of coffee shops to the cosmic expanse of existence, Jake navigates the strange intersections of desire, creativity, and human blunder, asking whether any of us are truly free to choose.
In this collection of short, vaguely reflective stories, Jake explores the paradoxical dance between chaos and order: The Wet: the raw, unstructured burden of consciousness, and The Dry: the human-made rules that always seem to fail. Philosophical, satirical, and brutally honest, these tales chronicle Jake’s attempts to find meaning when the world itself feels designed for absurdity.
But when the alien vessel 3I/ATLAS arrives, offering humanity a choice in the grand Consensus of Stars, Jake’s musings become urgent, terrifying, and viscerally real. As society fractures into factions and his queer, creative intentions are weaponized against him, Jake must navigate cosmic stakes, dreamlike prophecies, and the ultimate question: can we trust our own humanity over the algorithm?
