Morning.
I'll be on BBC RADIO 4 this evening on Front Row with Kirsty Wark.

We'll be discussing the dangers of the Big Tech plan to merge humans with AI and the new novel - For Emma.

Programme starts at 19:15 UK time. Enjoy.

A new video today.

Inspired by the real-life Brain Chip Implant experiments (Elon Musk/Neuralink) & the technogothic tradition (Frankenstein, Dr Jekyll &Mr Hyde, The Island of Dr Moreau), it is a tale of possession by a new force.

The novel is published next week.

Are people leaving Blue Sky or does it have a bot problem? Are you seeing these kinds of deleted accounts in your inbox too?

After they erase the truth . . . what then?

56 days until publication of FOR EMMA.

(the video is 22 seconds - turn on the volume)

We are driven by technological progress, but what is driving it?
Is it an evolutionary force?
Is it a force independent of us, that ultimately does not care for us?
Can we resist tech progress? Do we have a choice?
Your thoughts appreciated.
A little video, turn on the volume please.

Hey Folks,
Video launch.
Here's the trailer for my new novel FOR EMMA.
It's a techno-gothic thriller about love, loss & fighting back against the Big Tech overlords.
It's published on 25 March 2025 with Leamington Books.
Turn up the volume and enjoy.
Love to hear your thoughts.
Cheers.

Conundrum:
Once Elon Musk is working in the US Govt & has access to NASA files - what if he discovers that the moon landings were staged?
Would he:
(1) Cancel his plans for Mars colonies?
(2) Come clean to the public?
(3) Hush it up & keep pushing his Mars project?

"So hold me, Mom, in your long arms.
In your automatic arms. Your electronic arms.
In your arms.
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms.
Your petrochemical arms. Your military arms.
In your electronic arms."

"O Superman" - Laurie Anderson, 1981.

If your culture-making-company uses algorithms to predict which tv shows & films to commission; which books & music to publish - then you are ushering in stagnation.

Algorithms cannot make creative choices, they simply look for patterns of what is already successful & recommend you copy it.

Thought for 2025: Writers and artists - if you're going to have a portrait done - go all in.

Here is the great László Krasznahorkai.

"Creativity is that marvellous capacity to grasp mutually distinct realities and draw a spark from their juxtaposition."

Max Ernst (1891–1976)

"Every normal human being (and not merely the 'artist') has an inexhaustible store of buried images in his subconscious, it is merely a matter of courage or liberating procedures ... of voyages into the unconscious, to bring pure and unadulterated found objects to light."

Max Ernst
