About Plangent Noise

Plangent Noise Eco-Novel supplies an alternative future to the dystopias that are so easy to imagine. Instead of doom and gloom, what if we Imagine a world with dignity and respect for all beings with a sane overseer, namely the planet itself with the help of her mushroom microbiome, insects, animals, and plants?

Plangent Noise is the story a group of friends tell during the 100-year anniversary tour of the ‘Awakening’, as they tour the country on the Hyperloop line. They tell about the barbaric times of the past when they first learned to talk back in the 21st century.

Plangent Noise is a science fiction-fantasy-fairytale about how animals on planet earth change their brain structure, learn to speak human languages, and save the world. A renaissance culture is born based on mindfulness and spirit instead of materialism.

In the year 2127, six old friends meet up for a book tour to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of The Awakening. They tell the story of the last 100 years in their own words as they read from their memoirs.

Backin the last century, in the year 2027 non-humans receive a stimulus that was beyond the level of human hearing. Within weeks animals that had been exposed to human speech began to develop the ability to communicate with humans. The upheaval and transformation that followed created a whole new world.

It is now one hundred years after the awakening. The year is 2127 and much has been accomplished.

Earthworms have replenished the topsoil and returned many deserts back to their original forested or grassland state. The earthlings have healed the eco system and the climate has stabilized.

Whales and dolphins have helped create the smell-based computers that earthworms, insects and one-celled sea creatures use to liaison between the earth and the humans and animals that live in technological culture.

Humans have learned to live in a way that honors all life on planet earth and many communities live on the outlying satellite cities in the sky.

Dr. Miranda Smith, a cow from one of the last factory farms has helped develop a Species-Specific Diet for those beings who live in the technological culture. Wild beings still eat their natural diet without having to think about it of course. Dr. Smith and her colleagues also invented Simu-meat, a muscle-like plant-based substance, like tofu only tastier.

Locally grown organic crops are only a mouth’s bite away from every home. High tech eco-villages now dot the planet. The cities are now spacious and beautiful because people do much of their work online and visit each other for longer projects. People no longer need to stay in urban areas to make a living if they don’t want to.

A former lab rat and MIT professor, named Silvo, has rediscovered and formalized Cell Singing, a way to prolong life by reprogramming one’s own cells. We can now stay young and cute for up to 150 years or longer if we are very developed cell singers and want to live longer. We finally have time to mature and get things accomplished before we die.

There is freedom to grow spiritually and emotionally. We have developed efficient lifestyles and spend only 1 or 2 hours a day on essential chores. The rest of our time is focused on our “Bliss Careers”. We create art, music, science, and work on many other endeavors. We collaborate on cross-planet projects such as Space Cities, Sky-teen Science Camp, Renaissance Art Colonies, Leadership Universities and so much more.
