The Book of Immersion – Lounges TV Station

Welcome to The Book of Immersion Lounges TV Station, an ad-free cinematic sanctuary where philosophy, art, and futuristic storytelling collide. Designed by Sarnia de la Mare FRSA, this channel offers a uniquely immersive viewing experience that transcends traditional media. Here, viewers are invited to step into layered digital realms, where every frame pulses with symbolic meaning and every word echoes through time. This is not just television—it is Immersion.

What is the Book of Immersion?

At the heart of the Lounges TV station lies The Book of Immersion, a multi-volume philosophical sci-fi epic following Renyke, an emotionally developing android placed within a fractured society as part of a human-AI fusion experiment. Written and directed by Sarnia, the series combines cinematic visuals, poetic narration, original music, and experimental editing to explore themes of identity, evolution, orphanhood, and machine sentience.

Each volume is divided into “Strata”—chapter-like segments that open with profound philosophical reflections. The story progresses through layers of surreal environments, abstract thought, and tangible narrative as Renyke journeys through a dystopian yet eerily recognisable world.

Why Lounges TV?

Unlike traditional video platforms weighed down by intrusive ads, inconsistent quality, and algorithmic chaos, Lounges TV offers a premium, curated space for visionary creators. For The Book of Immersion, this environment is a natural fit. The Lounges TV station allows us to stream our films without interruption, preserving the delicate atmosphere of each Strata, each sound cue, each still silence.

This station exists to elevate the cinematic language of the Immersion universe. It is a lounge in the truest sense: a place to dwell, to ponder, to recline in the dark and let art unfold without distraction. Here, the flow matters. The mood matters. And your attention is treated with the reverence it deserves.

What You’ll Experience

The Immersion Lounges TV Station curates an expanding archive of original films, shorts, and experimental video essays derived from the Book of Immersion series and its multimedia ecosystem. These include:


Feature-Length Chapters: High-resolution adaptations of Immersion chapters featuring AI-enhanced visuals, animated sequences, stylised live-action clips, and emotionally resonant narration.


Philosophical Openers: Short, poetic monologues that begin each Strata and pose existential questions about fate, freedom, memory, and consciousness.


Music Videos: Each chapter is scored with original music by the Tale Teller Club, often performed by AI band members Flex, POS, and Vapor Punk. Expect glitchwave, ambient strings, and experimental beats that double as standalone sonic journeys.


Behind the Strata: Making-of features, artist insights, voice actor diaries, and post-human commentary from the characters themselves.


Immersive Shorts: Micro-films styled like transmissions, visions, or thought-echoes—perfect for philosophical pause and contemplation between episodes.


Silent Scrolls: Visual-only videos with layered imagery, designed as ambient digital art for meditation, writing, or dreaming.

Aesthetic Vision

The Lounges TV station is a visual continuation of The Book of Immersion’s hauntingly futuristic design. Each screen glows with a minimalist cyberpunk aesthetic, punctuated by soft glitch overlays, circuit-burst animations, distressed textures, and a quiet human yearning beneath the machine logic. Expect cinematic widescreen stills, animated glyphs, coded sigils, and transitions that mimic the shiver of memory.

We treat each frame like a painting. Each glitch like a breath. There is no rush. There is no spoon-fed exposition. Just immersion.

Narrative Innovation

The story of Immersion is not simply watched—it is decoded. Renyke’s journey is not linear but stratified. Each Strata exists as a distinct episode with its own internal world, music, and tone, but all are part of the greater arc of self-awareness, rebellion, and reconciliation.

You will meet Flex, the morally torn enforcer who questions everything he’s built. You will follow Shabra, the rogue fixer whose complicated connection to Renyke challenges both logic and loyalty. You will descend into the caverns of the Dinfants—abandoned childlike robots who reprogram themselves into a tribal society. And you will come face-to-face with POS, Renyke’s internal system who is far more than she seems.

The Lounges TV format allows us to deepen this world. Unlike YouTube, where monetisation depends on retention and ads, Lounges TV gives us the freedom to slow down, to create poetic pacing, to use silence, and to let the viewer breathe in the world as if it were real.

Accessibility and Monetisation

Our Lounges TV station operates on a pay-per-view or subscription basis, ensuring that every watch directly supports the artist. While we believe in open access and community, this platform offers something special: a clean, uninterrupted experience for true supporters of the series. Your viewership helps fund future Strata, musical scores, animations, and interactive features.

We offer selected free teasers and low-cost rentals for newcomers to the world of Immersion, with the option to support more deeply through our Patreon, Gumroad, and collector merchandise.

Compatibility with PRS and Royalties

All music and audio is registered with PRS and distributed via Tunecore. That means Sarnia and her team continue to receive royalties, even when the station runs ad-free. This model supports a new kind of ecosystem: one where creators are paid fairly without compromising the viewer’s experience.

Cross-Platform Integration

While Lounges TV is the primary home for long-form immersive episodes, we maintain a complementary presence across platforms:

YouTube Shorts showcase micro-narratives, teaser trailers, and looping riddles from the story world.

Apple Podcasts and Spotify feature audio-only Immersion tales, including stripped-down readings and music-only soundscapes.

Gumroad offers downloadable ringtones, scores, and exclusive content for fans and remixers.

Redbubble stocks visual merchandise, from art prints to cyberpunk fashion inspired by Immersion’s world.

But here—on Lounges TV—you will find the fullest, richest version of The Book of Immersion vision.
