The Dandelion Conspiracy

No Problem! In two months' time, an independent, full-length fantasy film will debut online. Big deal? Indeed, because it will be based on Sapkowski's prose. We met the creators and talked about this extraordinary production, created not with money, but passion. How The Witcher franchise mixes fantasy with modern world? But how was this achieved? Warsaw-based Platige Image is currently one of the leaders in digital graphics and animation.

We talked to several representatives of the studio about the reasons behind their success, plans for the future, and glimpsed behind the scenes of their works. Digital Dragons in Cracow gathered top Polish video game developers. We took this chance to talk with some members of CD Projekt Red both their current and former employees about the Witcher series and some behind-the-scenes mysteries.

Act 1. The Floating Prison. Online interactions on websites, forums and social networks, as well as immersion in the spin-off computer games, both anticipate and extend the series, and are requisite components of its postfictional status. If we are to accept the Left Behind phenomena as paradigmatically postfictional, then this may be because, as Partington implies, these creative artefacts emerge from the convergence of two 'real-world' trajectories that already blur the boundaries between fact and fiction: systems of belief specifically but not exclusively religious and networked technology.

Here I consider some of the implications of such a convergence, focusing on conspiracy theories and patterns of online interaction. Ultimately, in the light of recent neuroscientific research, my suggestion is that these phenomena enable a 'protofictional' approach towards making sense of the world. Faith traditionally has an uneasy relationship with politics, epitomised by the Western secular demand to segregate the state from religion.

The Secret Florist Society

Attempting to reconcile faith with reason, Terry Eagleton notes the reappearance of religion in the public eye in recent times, from radical Islam to Christian fundamentalism, suggesting that any resurgence may be influenced by mass disillusionment with global politics. While many are scornful of conspiracy theorists, the rise in visibility of what Richard Hofstadter calls the 'paranoid style' in cultural production from Pynchon and DeLillo to the X Files , the Zeitgeist series and Michael Moore perhaps speaks to a similar political dissatisfaction.

Conspiracy theories interpret the world in much the same way—as media distillations of global events typically offering 'image-centred, narrative-based accounts of strips of reality', that help to create, as Arjun Appadurai has it, 'protonarratives of possible lives, fantasies that could become prolegomena to the desire for acquisition and movement'. Unsurprisingly then, onto its end-times framework, Left Behind maps a clumsy but familiar articulation of fears over shadowy elites and the New World Order, subjecting the residents of the period of Tribulation to the despotic world government of the 'Global Community' and the 'Enigma Babylon One World Faith', a totalitarian religion headed by the Antichrist himself.

Indeed, the Left Behind: Eternal Forces computer game opens with a biblical quotation that could conceivably have come from conspiracy theorist pin-up David Icke: 'For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world and against evil spirits in heavenly places Ephesians Conspiracy theories, even in book form, ride the same razor-thin edge as Left Behind , consciously evoking literary tropes and structures in their quest to unveil a specific brand of Truth.

This is especially true when considering those abundant aspects that overlap with 'new age' spiritualism: as its provocative title might suggest, Bob Frissell's Nothing In This Book Is True But It's Exactly How Things Are is something of a key text in this respect. Ostensibly a treatise on rebirthing and meditation as a path to achieving 'Christ-Consciousness', through which we can reach the higher spiritual dimensions where we will find our destiny, Frissell situates his claims within a formidably holistic narrative of conspiracy theory and Eastern-derived new age philosophies.

As the introduction explains, the story that unfolds is:. It is a story we are living, and it is a story we are changing to such a degree that it is becoming unrecognizable even as it is being absolutely and unambiguously revealed for what it is [… Thus] I leave it with readers to decide if this is all true or if none of it is true.

Because in the end your own word must be enough. Similarly, The Montauk Project , which 'uncovers' some of the United States government's experiments in time-travel and mind control over the course of the latter half of the twentieth century, advises its readers that the book is 'an exercise in consciousness' built on 'soft facts', which are 'not untrue, they are just not backed up by irrefutable documentation'; 'hard facts', we are told, 'have been very difficult to obtain', due to the nature of the subject matter.

Consequently, 'the book is being presented as non-fiction as it contains no falsehoods to the best knowledge of the authors. However, it can also be read as pure science fiction if that is more suitable to the reader'. The religious tone and the manner of interpellating the reader into the narrative of Truth are echoed, interestingly enough, by the Church of Scientology the religion that springs from the Science Fiction novels of its founder L.

Ron Hubbard , which tells us on its website that 'no-one is asked to accept anything as belief or on faith. That which is true for you is what you have observed to be true'. The sceptic may find this kind of self-effacing magnanimity surprising in the face of the incredible revelations to be found in each of these three examples. We are unlikely to place our faith in anything which openly confesses an inability to prove its outrageous claims.

Nonetheless, the approach appeals to reason by investing in our trust. Conspiracy theory thus explicitly places us in the interpretative driving seat. When our own narrative guides all others, the baffling diversity of experience can be localised and moulded into a series of meaningful 'truths'. Our online experience is arranged in a similar manner and for this reason conspiracy theory has achieved symbiosis with the internet.

Every problem can be explained by a suitable truth, or several, if one appeals to fictional devices to support this protofictional drive. The rhizomatic sub-cultural plains of the internet allow the 'rehearsals' of the Left Behind series to gestate and propagate, such that the postfictional apogee that is the apocalyptic thriller exists, as Partington claims, 'in dialogue with the Internet'.

In essence, postfictionality is unleashed by its dependency on fluid interpersonal exchange. Conventionally, the novel as a discrete, disconnected unit fosters the private intimacy we often associate with the reading experience. Put differently, fiction's ability to engage with the wider world is structurally unbounded by the very physicality that seems to draw us in.
