My online novel seed-story.com is loading sporadically/not at all

The servers belonged to Google Creative Labs Sydney (now apparently defunct)

If anyone reading worked there/knows someone who did pls get in touch urgently so this pioneering work of digital literature can be saved

It's my dream for this book to be on a syllabus. Not too subtly, if you'd like to put it on yours I'd be eternally grateful (& also more than happy to student questions...)

saying you're 'delighted' might be an online cliché but I really was delighted to be invited to talk to artist and Girl Online Molly Soda about Amateurs!

Please help a TCD posgrad couple looking for a LGBTQ+friendly apartment or apartmentshare/houseshare in/near Dublin. They've stayed at my place and I can vouch for them 100%

Please pass around all your networks. Message me to be put in touch.

James Gleick at @nybooks.com calls Amateurs! an 'insightful... philosophical investigation'! Anyone who reads my book will find that that the people I write about are far from all the 'same age & class' but the book is reviewed alongside Cory Doctorow & Tim Berners-Lee & I'll take that).
