Machine Ghosts: The First Five: Fictional Conversations With Power

What if you could speak with the most powerful people in the world—after their minds had been uploaded into code? Machine Ghosts: Edition One collects five fictional interviews with digital reconstructions of the 21st century’s most controversial figures: a war-hardened leader, a vanished oligarch, a comedian-turned-president, a prophet of AI, and the internet’s favorite techno-martyr. Based entirely on publicly available language, these simulated ghosts speak in familiar tones—but say what we’re never allowed to hear. Equal parts speculative fiction, political noir, and literary séance, Machine Ghosts interrogates the myths behind power, code, and control. This is not journalism. These are not real interviews. They are dramatized simulations designed to provoke, disturb, and remind us that no one escapes their own voice.
