ABOUT THE LITERARY UNIVERSE Incubator

Welcome to the world of contemporary prose

INCUBATOR is a literary project by Iskandar Kadyrov — a literary universe of philosophical novellas at the intersection of intellectual prose, psychological drama, social satire, and dystopian literature.

The project is structured as 2 self-contained cycles that together form a unified philosophical architecture:

  • Cycle I — “The Threshold” · 17 Novellas
  • Cycle II — “The Fool's Journey” · 22 Novellas

Together, the 2 cycles map consciousness in transformation: from the first encounter with the limits of control to the systematic dismantling of everything that was ever called “I.”

INCUBATOR is not a collection or an anthology.
It is a system of autonomous realities, where each text exists as a state of experience — before fixation, before interpretation, before final meaning.
Incubator— CYCLE I:
WORLDS THAT DO NOT YET EXIST — OR CAN NO LONGER BE AVOIDED.

I. The Threshold

This cycle is about the instant before the irreversible — reason has already lost its grip, the event has not happened yet, but there is no longer any way around it.

Its 17 narratives inhabit that threshold, where passion, absurdity, and inevitability are not emotions the characters experience, but the very fabric of what is unfolding. Nothing here is settled forever — and therein lies its true unease.
OPEN WORLDS
Incubator — CYCLE II:
THE EVENT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED. THE REST IS CATCHING UP.

II. The Fool's Journey

This cycle begins where the first one ends: the event has already taken place, and all that remains is what the protagonist does with its aftermath.

Twenty-two narratives of fear lead through the architecture of the Tarot’s Major Arcana — not toward gaining new strength, but toward the gradual loss of everything a person once called self. Freedom here is not a reward. It is what remains when everything unnecessary has been removed.
