Moses Ose Utomi @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I write books about how people in power do evil things and then construct a system where it's so easy for us to attack each other that we never bother to go back to confront the source. I frequently feel less like a fiction writer and more like an amateur documentarian. 050
