The 90s big tech explosion was built on the ethos of "disruption" of markets.
In the 2020s with saturated markets, big tech moved onto disrupting our social fabric.
It has now become a machine that produces social fragmentation & isolation for profit.

We are attempting to replace the God we killed with a technological God of our own making.
We cannot bear the meaning crisis we are in any more. So technological progress has become our new religion.
This is where my novel "For Emma" begins.

Probably my all time favourite surrealist image is actually a photomontage.

Stills from all the book trailers we made for For Emma.
Nice to see that they tell a story and there's that accidental recurring trope again of the "wanderer over the sea of fog".
Eight days till publication.
Cheers folks.

Transhumanism & tech-Utopianism see themselves as answers to nihilism.
Our species is doomed, so we shall become immortal with tech, they say.
There is no God, so we shall make our own, they say.
They believe these are answers to nihilism, but they are really symptoms of it.

"One of the benefits of procrastination is that you will never become a tyrant."
Aphorisms & maxims - by yours truly, written over 20 years while writing novels - kept hidden in a couple of notebooks, now being aired for the first time.
Enjoy.
