The only reason people set books in the real world is to try to appeal to the sensibilities of reactionary realists. http://soulism.net

Interesting concept. It's going to take me a while to get through this, but I look forward to trying. Thanks for sharing

Apparent tl;dr:

Soulism, also known as anarcho-antirealism, is a branch of anarchist thought that views reality and natural laws as unjust hierarchies needing justification through good work and the ability to be dismantled. Soulists extend this principle to reality itself, believing that our experiences, or consensus reality, are sculpted by society and cultural biases, rather than objective truth. By rejecting the objective existence of reality, soulists argue that we can reshape our perceptions to align with kindness, empathy, and respect for marginalized identities. This extends to supporting mental, racial, gender, and other diversities, while using the concept of "magic" as a means of influencing and understanding our perceptions of the world. In doing so, soulists aim to destroy the concept of an objectively true reality, promoting a more empathetic and inclusive societal framework.

Fascinating! Sounds like something I'd read about in Disco Elysium, honestly
