I spend a lot of time thinking about how the future might go (both because it’s fascinating, and because it’s my job). I find fiction a valuable format for exploring these ideas because it forces concreteness, not only about the future itself, but also about how people (or AIs) experience that future. This substack is a repository of my fiction, broadly divided into three categories:
Traditional short stories, mostly focusing on the human element of the future. I recommend starting with The Witness.
Vignettes and fables in which I explore interesting ideas more directly. I recommend starting with The Ants and the Grasshopper.
“AI autofiction” in which I describe how the world might look from the perspective of future AIs; these typically assume more technical knowledge. I recommend starting with Succession.
