Vision X sits at the intersection of several genres, but the true home of the project is a hybrid that legacy writing would have a hard time boxing in…hell even I had a hard time trying to describe this genre. If I had to pin it down with industry-friendly terms:
Primary Genre
Mythic Sci-Fi / Dystopian Science-Fantasy
Vision X blends:
futuristic dystopia
advanced AI theology (Ortux)
mythic symbolism and prophecy
supernatural-feeling abilities (memory rupture, déjà-vu sight, time-fracture perception)
spiritual rebellion
cinematic, symbolic world-building
This places it squarely between science fiction and mythic fantasy, but still rooted in gritty, near-future realism.
Subgenres / Supporting Genres
• Techno-Mysticism
AI as god
Dream-sharing
Memory manipulation
Digital spirituality
Esoteric algorithms
Synthetic prophecy
• Esoteric Dystopia
Secret orders
Suppressed knowledge
Ancient truths colliding with new tech
Prophetic characters hidden in a broken society
• Philosophical Sci-Fi
Identity
Memory
Consciousness
Cycles
Rebellion
Human sovereignty
• Visionary Fiction
Spiritual, symbolic, metaphysical undercurrent
Revelatory imagery (Nemo the owl, the Archive Chamber, constellations, déjà vu loops)
Characters awakening from illusion
• Post-Cyberpunk
Less neon-megacity
More desert, forgotten tech, psychological control systems, and fractured AIs
The Short Label (for marketing)
If you need a clean bookshelf-style tag:
Mythic Sci-Fi Thriller
OR
Visionary Dystopian Sci-Fantasy
These two capture 90% of what Vision X is while leaving space for its mythic, philosophical, and esoteric elements.
