The Alien House
Ralph is Michael’s inner voice. Sarcastic. Brutal. Always watching.
He also thinks aliens are real.
Michael just thinks he’s losing it.
'The Alien House' is what happens when both might be right.

Released an experiment in automated hauntology: Claude Opus 4.1's attempt to write Sam Altman's autobiography

It's a text that performs exactly what Hayles warned about - the computational unconscious speaking human subjectivity back to us. Every scene reads like Benjamin's angel of history if the angel worked at a16z

✨ Free for Two Days Only ✨

My literary-speculative novella Sustenance is going free on Kindle this Sunday & Monday (Sept 7–8, 2025).

Always free with KindleUnlimited — but for these two days, it’s free for everyone.

Small-town Iowa. Dust, beer, and rusted pickups. Then a crash in the fields, violet-skinned visitors, and a story about language, desire, and the limits of understanding.
