Uhhsthetic

2025Absurdist Sci-FiNovella

On his seventeenth birthday in Las Vegas, Joaquín “Jojo” Herrera gets high in his backyard and is abducted by aliens. Not the pop-culture kind. These are ten-foot-tall aesthetic purists who serve higher-dimensional beings called the Makers. To them, the universe is a gallery, and humanity’s messy, wasteful existence is a stain on the composition. Deemed contamination and marked for a memory wipe, Jojo refuses to forget. What follows is a philosophical debate conducted in a supermarket at 2 AM, where the fate of Earth hinges on questions no one thought to ask.

La Vache Ruminait

2025Meditative AllegoryNovel

A philosophical novel told from the perspective of cattle discovering the harsh truths of their existence. Through the eyes of Vacha, a young zebu cow whose restless consciousness sets her apart from the herd, the novel traces a passage from innocent curiosity through devastating knowledge and collapse to a hard-won, ambivalent peace. Written in a bovine vernacular where philosophy is the endless chewing of thoughts and mortality is the truck that comes for everyone, it asks what it means to live inside the cycle with open eyes.

TIZZ SU ADAMS

Tizz

ForthcomingPhilosophicalNovella

Narrated in retrospect by a housefly who lives fourteen days, Tizz braids an insect’s brief life of appetite, shame, companionship, and thought with the therapy sessions of a grieving human patient. Across eight chapters and three acts, two radically different lifespans run on a double clock, each facing the same scandal: that everything ends.

SENSE & SEEMINGNESS SU ADAMS

Sense and Seemingness

ForthcomingSpeculative MetaphysicsPhilosophy

A radical reconstruction of metaphysics that begins from the only undeniable fact: the raw “seeming” of immediate experience. Rejecting the subject-object divide, it proposes a universe made of Sense-Space, an infinite-dimensional field of quality, and reads consciousness not as a container but as a trajectory drawn by the Meta-Optimizer toward higher quality. Ontology, epistemology, and ethics folded into one system.

About

Su Adams writes speculative fiction and philosophy from the stranger end of the shelf: first-contact comedies, philosophical cows, a housefly, and a metaphysics of seeming. The books ask large questions through small, unglamorous minds, and refuse to answer any of them gently.
