the Future is Fiction

This is a blog about politics, the environment, culture, technology and writing—in that order. I probably think about writing as often as the others but I don’t think it makes for very good reading, so I don’t think to blog it.

The writer: I adore Harper’s magazine, nachos, books, Linux, music and San Francisco.

The content: We are at a moment in history where the stakes are higher than ever before. Many people fumble through their days, wanting to change the course of the world but at a loss for where to begin with their tiny bodies and insufficient ten fingers. This blog is written in the hopes of grasping moments where we can see a brighter future and catch a glimpse of the path towards it. It is written to expose the darkling plain that history is rampaging towards. It is the anti-lie. It is the un-denial. It is two Victorian ladies playing croquet at dusk to look down and see the peasants storming the castle. In short, it is all this loudmouth poet might think to do as the sky is falling.
