Peter Lay of Black Eyes Publishing UK hosts this event to celebrate the anthology RISE OF THE BADGER. Alex Perry will give a talk on the science of extinction, followed by a limited-space open mic. This is a FREE event with a capacity of 40. Held at the Chapels of Rest.
Rise of the Badger is an art and poetry anthology exploring post-apocalyptic futures. Published by Black Eyes Publishing UK (2025). The human race has failed to protect itself and has finally become extinct. What happens next on this small blue planet that floats in a minor solar system within the vastness of space? What Phoenix will arise from the ashes of the human race?
Alex Perry is a writer with a background in science (a PHD in Chemistry). His works include a short comedic play about the first baby born on Mars, a short film about an artificial intelligence avatar in the medical insurance industry who goes rogue, an illustrated STEM book about a child who learns to express her emotions from a chameleon, a poem about a doomed diabetic lab rat, and a fable about an electric forest. In his contribution to "Rise of the Badger and the Great Shrubbery", Alex's post-apocalyptic tale "A Dog Eat Dog World?" imagines what life would be like for man's best friend in a post-human world.
