Legal-high addict, gaming enthusiast, and principal shareholder of AstroLabs™, Lex Rameses, has recently discovered—and purchased—Proserpina: a planet with a near-identical ecosystem to Earth’s. Yet, although his humanistic, hipster pretensions mean that many people admire him, there is still one thing standing in the way of his program: as of yet, there is no way to travel to Proserpina safely.
Enter a cast of mad scientists, Astro–Marxists, a neurorobotic AI hivemind, an extinction anxiety addict, the victims of an interrelated gaming scam, and a seemingly endless succession of ravers and gamers in search of the ultimate hallucinogenic, carcinogenic, neü-space-age high…

Latent Mournings examines how of computation reorganize affect, temporality, and the conditions of perception. Through theoretical essays, recursive analyses, and experiments, Dzodan develops a framework in which emotion becomes logistical, latency becomes epistemic material, and mourning emerges as an mode rather than an interior state.
Tracing a genealogy that moves from Affective Logistics to the spectral and chimeric ethics of Amorino Latente, the book maps the residues and remainders that shape contemporary life under algorithmic governance. Dzodan’s writing inhabits the interval between exhaustion and maintenance, articulating a practice ground- ed in latency, refusal, and the aesthetics of the never-made.
Drawing from projects such as Absence / Longing / Saturation, Haptic Mournings, and the ongoing research on Chronoecology, Latent Mournings outlines a low-energy ecology of the present: one defined by decay, affective capture, and the spectral artifacts generated by systems that optimize for frictionless operation.
This work offers a rigorous vocabulary for describing the computational present while insisting on the value of opacity, recursion, and incompletion as analytical methods.
