Liminal Feeds: Influencer Tales & Speculative Fiction

By Richard Gold

Fourteen stories split between the performative internet and near-future dystopias.

Liminal Feeds is a two-part fiction collection that plays with the formats we read every day-and the systems we might inhabit tomorrow. Divided strictly into two distinct halves, the anthology offers a sharp, observational look at how we communicate, perform, and survive.

Influencer Tales
The first half dives into the para-social realities of the modern web. Told through the texts we consume every day-live-stream transcripts, private forum posts, emails, and podcasts-these stories capture the specific voices of Gen Z, Millennial, and Gen X characters. Each tale drops you into a different online hyper-niche, exploring the strange, isolated spaces where pure marketing and deeply personal confessions collide.

Speculative Fiction
The second cycle of stories steps entirely away from contemporary digital culture. These are self-contained dystopian and futurist narratives. This half of the book delivers focused, atmospheric explorations of odd, borderline states and places, shifted perspectives, and the cold trajectories of near-future living.

Designed to be consumed in short fragments, Liminal Feeds is a highly inventive collection for readers who want to look behind the screens of today-and into the shadows of tomorrow.
