TL;DR: “Mad engineer meets storyteller who rage-quit the Matrix.”
-----------------------
Twenty years as an AI and software consultant taught me two things:
I was good at making money.
And I was dying inside.
So I did what any reasonable person would do — quit, drained my savings, and jumped into fiction writing without a parachute.
"Writing sci-fi? My childhood dream! How hard could it be?" I thought.
Narrator voice: He messed around and found out.
(Several times, actually.)
A year, several rewrites, and one nervous breakdown later… here we are.
I write fast, weird, slightly deranged stories about AI, humanity, and everything that could go wrong when the machines start thinking.
If you've read this far, congratulations — you're clearly my kind of crazy.
Now go buy the book. My dogs — and my therapist — will thank you.
