I've been an @eliotpeper.bsky.social fan for years now. I read this cover-to-cover in one sitting. Can't recommend ENSORCELLED more highly. bsky.app/profile/elio...

Recent Reads: Ensorcelled. Eliot Peper's novella is a love story, to the mountains of the High Sierra and to the power of storytelling and gameplaying. It's also the story of a life well-lived and, oh so much more, all packed into a little volume that shows we can still make beautiful books. Worthy.

This story was new territory for me and I had to brave many forking paths and dead ends before finding my way to the heart of it, but, in the words of the protagonist, “the only voyages worth embarking on are those that venture into the unknown.”

My new book drops today! Ensorcelled is a coming-of-age adventure about a boy who goes on a camping trip that changes his life, opening his mind and rewilding his attention. At just 90 pages, it's a one-sitting read that will suck you in, make you think, and leave you changed.

If you preorder Ensorcelled directly from me, I will personally sign and send you a copy a week before it comes out on October 8th so you get to read it before anyone else. I poured my heart into this story and can’t wait to hear what you think. store.eliotpeper.com/products/ens...

At just 90 pages, Ensorcelled is a single-sitting read. For years, I've harbored an unreasonable affection for short novels, so it's been tremendous fun to finally write my own and produce a tiny but beautiful paperback that will slip into your pocket as easily as you slip into the narrative.

Eliot Peper @eliotpeper.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

This kind of smaller, gentler, more intimate storytelling required me to stretch new muscles as a writer, and it's been really special to hear from early readers who have found it to be a source of solace.

Eliot Peper @eliotpeper.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Most of my novels are high-concept near-future thrillers, and while Ensorcelled does have speculative elements, at its heart, it's a simple tale about a boy who goes on a camping trip that opens his mind to new ways of seeing.

Straight out of an @eliotpeper.bsky.social novel. His novel Foundry, specifically. A recommended near-future thriller about the geopolitics of silicon.

“This is how I wish the world was different” is one of my least favorite genres of discourse. On the other hand, “here is a concrete plan for making this particular aspect of the world better” is one of my favorites.

And hate? Hate is nothing more than a form of cowardice felt by those so blinded by fear that they cannot summon the courage to see past it.

000

Eliot Peper @eliotpeper.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

The opposite of fear is love. Love welcomes the world with open arms. Love inspires us to do things for others instead of constantly, desperately defending ourselves.

Eliot Peper @eliotpeper.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

What is fear’s opposite? Not courage. Courage is what it takes to overcome fear, and cannot exist without it. The fearless have no courage, and no need for it.

LLMs don't just generate media, they are a new narrative medium, akin to the advent of printed books, radio and film. I've been experimenting with this new medium at Portola and it's working: 800k downloads/#1 app store ranking/millions in ARR. Here's what we've learned. every.to/thesis/ai-is...

Peers make the best teachers. Experts know so much they've forgotten what it's like to be a beginner. Fellow students know your struggle. So learn together, and then teach each other what you learn.
