The Exegesis of Miya Black Hearted Cyber Angel Baby (2016–2020) is a book collecting the writings of the Miya net-art persona, compiled and translated by Charlotte Fang and published by Passage Press through its Network Press imprint. Announced in late 2025 and scheduled for release in October 2026, it is the first comprehensive edition of a body of work that had previously circulated only as scattered website archives and fragmentary PDFs, and it is described by Fang as Remilia's first book issued through an outside publisher. The volume is dedicated "in memory of Siyuan Zhao," whose booking photograph was the basis for the Miya persona's profile image.

Background

The Miya persona was active between roughly 2016 and 2020, publishing across a network of websites and blogs before its primary account was deleted in May 2020. The deletion left followers with a single instruction — to redistribute the writings — after which the texts circulated as a corpus of fragmented PDFs and acquired a cult reputation across technology, theory, and art circles. The persona is generally understood as a conceptual precursor to Remilia Corporation, and its writings form part of the intellectual substrate for Remilia's later frameworks.

Structure

The book is organized into several major divisions. Front matter comprises a Foreword, an Editor's Introduction, a Note on the Text, and a Translator's Note. The central section, the Exegesis proper, gathers twenty-two numbered essays interleaved with seven "Letters" and a series of "Notes"; the essays include "Mostmodernism," "Artist does not exist," "Each your own egregore," "Wired eats the Real," "Capitalism is a dragon," "Alignment Fraud," "Industrialism," "Slave world," "Coronavirus," "Collapse," "Woman does not exist," and "Aristocratic sublime."

These are followed by the Basilisk Coda, which presents Fang's eschatological essay "Survival Horror Eschatology" together with related pieces ("Posthuman Alternatives," "Postscript on the Future"); the Apocrypha, collecting more fragmentary and literary material (including "Eschatologies," the "Palimpsest" fragments, "Virgin's Death Poem," "Self-Portrait with Five Computers," and "Eulogies"); and an Apparatus of scholarly back matter. The Apparatus contains a Field Glossary — an internet-vernacular encyclopedia defining Miya's coinages and the surrounding online argot — as well as an Index of First Lines, a note on source material, and a colophon.

Themes

The Exegesis assembles Miya's output as a dense, aphoristic theory-fiction synthesizing posthumanism, cybernetics, hermeticism, technoanimism, and conspiracy theory within an accelerationist framework. Its opening essay, "Mostmodernism," diagnoses a post-historical "database culture" of infinite recombination and argues that "distributed authorship is the future of culture." Subsequent essays develop the persona theory of the egregore and technodeities — autonomous online entities produced by collective belief — and the Landian account of capital as an inhuman thermodynamic intelligence, traced from its origin in the "wheat slaves" of the Agricultural Revolution through its contemporary forms in hyperfinancialization and the critique of AI safety as "Alignment Fraud." Recurring motifs of cyclical decline connect the corpus to the Kali Yuga and to the treatment of anticipated automation as a devaluing force theorized as Retrocausal anachronism.

Its preoccupations anticipate concerns that later became central to mainstream technology discourse — the geopolitical difficulty of AI alignment, the absorption of creative labor into automated systems, the dissolution of stable identity online, and the effect of synthetic media on the status of truth. Fang has framed the book's purpose as introducing these ideas to the artificial-intelligence industry, describing its aim as "trojan-horsing the AI industry into Miya's radical accelerationist realism." As a whole the volume functions as the primary document of the Accelerationist Realism developed in and around Remilia.

Composition and editing

Described in its acknowledgements as a project "four years in the making," the book was assembled from the Miya archive, which a group of the persona's associates first transcribed and tagged. The material was then line-edited into a coherent manuscript by James Alexander and Anna Leverette, with the wider editorial process led by Onno Whitemoor and Michael Dragovic; Whitemoor contributed the Field Glossary, Dragovic the Foreword, and Alexander the Editor's Introduction. The book was published through Network Press, the imprint of Passage Press overseen by Daniel Lisi. The volume's seven "Letters" derive from an original private correspondence referred to as the "Zygote Letters," the source of the zyg prefix in several early Miya-associated websites. The book carries an in memoriam for Nick Simmons, the first editor assigned to the manuscript at Network Press, who did not live to see it completed.

Physical editions

The book is issued in a standard edition and a limited "Legacy Edition." The Legacy Edition is presented as a deliberately occult object — bound in blood-red leather over board with silver inlaid printing and black gilded edges, and housed in a cigar-style box case — produced in a limited printing.
