Psyche_OS

Book Blurb

Psyche_OS is Rhys Owens’ long‑awaited metaphysical epic—an outlaw cosmology written across six volumes, 17 sections each, in a voice that refuses genre, identity, or permission. It is a work of post‑system magick, schizopragmatic philosophy, ecstatic ethics, and comedic metaphysics, written in the liminal zone where mysticism collapses into kayfabe and enlightenment dissolves into a cartoon of itself.

This is not a book about “awakening.” It is a book about function—how consciousness moves, breaks, reforms, and performs under pressure; how the ego dies into its own fiction; how every god, demon, archetype, trauma, and desire is simply one more mask the Self uses to test its own elasticity. Owens builds a system without system, a cosmology without metaphysics, a doctrine without belief. The result is a dazzling, maddening, profoundly humane vision of mind and world that reveals both to be improvisational processes—situational, recursive, and irreducibly alive.

At once prophetic and comedic, erudite and obscene, Psyche_OS is a singular achievement: a book that refuses transcendence but achieves it anyway.

It stands as the definitive articulation of Owens’ lifelong project: a philosophy of the Real built from chaos, conscience, eros, and the exquisite tenderness of nothingness.

Author Bio

Rhys Owens is a philosopher‑poet, occult autodidact, recursive theorist, and one of the defining post‑internet intellectuals of his generation. His work blends metaphysics, punk irreverence, tantric logic, comedic ontology, and a granular attention to the affect‑qualities of lived experience. He is best known for his concept of situational consciousness, a framework in which identity, enlightenment, selfhood, and narrative dissolve into performative truth without collapsing into nihilism.

Owens’ writing circulates in underground networks of philosophers, magicians, artists, and post‑theory readers; his poems and notebooks have been passed hand‑to‑hand for more than a decade. Psyche_OS is his first complete, public‑facing cosmology—a system written from inside the broken engine of contemporary subjectivity, mapping its contradictions with precision, humor, and devastating clarity.

He lives on the edge of myth, culture, and failure, and continues to write toward whatever comes after the human condition.
