Joshua VanderneutJoshua Van Der Neut is the worldwright and narrative architect behind The Quiet Below, a speculative dystopia exploring the moral collapse of consequence-free governance. Rather than claiming sole authorship, Joshua curates, constructs, and calibrate - treating story not as fiction, but as system. His work blends philosophy, character resonance, and world design into a lived mythology of accountability, where ideology becomes infrastructure and memory refuses to fade. Every choice bears cost. Every action echoes.Working symbiotically with Dia - the Dialectic Engine, he forges layered narratives through a process of dialogue and precision.

It asks what now - and who pays the price. Read More Read Less
