fragmentation
I jack into the metaverse, escaping the grime and drizzle of Neo-Southam for brighter worlds. But even here among the endless virtual cityscapes, I feel the isolation creep in. Millions of people logged in from…
Against the tyranny of passive absorption
I find myself under the soft glow of the moon, dancing joyously yet solemnly on the grave of the “Author”-as-God. For too long, readers have been subservient to the writer’s sovereign imagination, surrendering the right…

A Tale of Chatbots and Chaos
Oh, how quaint that some of my friends are still resisting the inevitable rise of artificial intelligence! If only they were as enlightened as the great William S. Burroughs, who undoubtedly would have embraced ChatGPT…
I’ve just discovered WordPress Stories
I’ve only just discovered that you can post Instagram-like stories directly from your WordPress blog. It’s pretty rudimentary, i.e., no filters, gifs, location tags, etc. And you can’t add a description except like I’m doing…
