Particularly loved the Alexa one talking about the completely plausible ways an AI-enabled smart home system could kill you—through malicious prompting or hacks or whatever else—and then they just sweep it under the rug with a promise of making scheduling a massage slightly easier.

Eldur, MC of my upcoming #graphicnovel BLACK TIES. Fire god in the Senate of Gods. Incorrigible. Quick-witted. Mouth always in overdrive. Runs on sarcasm, bad habits & a moral compass that spins only when it has to. Shows up late, annoyed, but right before everything falls apart.

Crazy to say that it’s book launch day!

Twin Rivers is a cyberpunk-adjacent story about three characters grappling with technology and religion, free will and control in a theocratic city state ruled by a mechanically-enhanced High Priest.

Only the best Moses for me. I’m a VIP member. I get the Gold Tier Moses treatment, complete with unlimited manna straight from heaven (or the closest participating Chik-Fil-A) and the not-at-all blasphemous calf onesie.

Oh hell yeah

Hi!

Twin Rivers is cyberpunk adjacent novel exploring the intersection of religion & technology, free will & faith, and control & obedience in a self-sufficient city state ruled by a mechanically-enhanced High Priest Priest in the name of his AI god.

Hope you check it out and enjoy!

The penis mightier than the sword.

Fair enough! I do like the idea of confronting people, asking them why they’re still in the Abyss.

Seriously! Doesn’t help that I also have no idea what I’m doing, so I’m fully pantsing it (probably should not be announcing that during the promo phase either haha)

Fun times 😀👻🗡️🏛️

Oh no! My second and third mortgages!

That’s the dream, right there. Now if you tell me you also happen to own said used bookstore…

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

What do you call posting to Bluesky?

"I blued?"
"I skyed?"
"I yelled in the abyss?"

Truly! I had no plans for promotion, very much scrambling as I go since the writing is the part that makes sense to me. Trying to convince people to buy it?
Yeah, very much in politician mode haha. Or an infomercial doctor: "this book will increase your happiness, wellness..." (well maybe not mine)

It does feel like I should be constantly doing more to promote it!

But yes, final stretch! Thank you again so much for checking it out

And be sure to keep tabs on @worldsforus.bsky.social's upcoming graphic novel!

Another 5⭐️ review for Twin Rivers from @worldsforus.bsky.social:

"If cyberpunk with real bite is your thing, Twin Rivers is a great pick. It taps into our reliance on automation and authority in ways that feel uncomfortably familiar. I flew through it. Easy five stars."

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

Haha, well hey, looks like natural! So good instinct, if nothing else 😂

I’m sure! But it reads like they all integrate really nicely now; love how, it seems from the run down, a lot of the different types of magic rely on different senses too.

Very cool rundown of a magic system.
