I wander the metropolis. I ponder. Entanglements are what we are... you spin & I spin. A maelstrom of mind & matter... a cosmic goo. I am picking up speed... accelerating... velocity. And yet I barely move.

A short pulp(ish) microfiction (1338 words) called THE MACHINE LORDS OF PRAGUE is a sort of test flight for a return to plot-driven (?) SF... we'll see how long this phase lasts 🤣... NETFLIX, DM if interested... it is the story of errant knight Sir Mojmír in deep space www.amazon.com/dp/B0GLQKVPLQ

Further adventures in lo-fi samizdat in 2K26... I wander from Vinohrady into neighboring Žižkov. The novelist in Prague is a dangerous creature. No morality. No allegiance. A hooligan. A vampire of the underground. I lurk at the center of a labyrinth. www.amazon.com/dp/B0GDPCQQD9

If you think the novel is dead... it really really is. Sort of. "In this constellation, the novel survives not as a living organism but as a machine-for-the-undead." David Vichnar on "Necromodernist Architectures in Contemporary Writing" in 3:AM mag www.3ammagazine.com/3am/necromod...

These books are, in a sense, anti-cultural products: they demand time, patience, and acceptance of incompletion. In doing so, they enact a politics — not of slogans or themes, but of form itself. In p...

“the billions of words that buzzed in my ears rarely unsettled me by what people wanted them to mean; as to all those words I myself uttered to others, I always felt they were distinct from my thinking—for they became unchanging.”

If you didn't think THE COMBINATIONS was difficult enough in English, the Czech translation is reputedly coming soon (only 10 years in the making!)

"This 'parentless book,' whose protagonist, seemingly both a ghost in the machine and a body of living matter, is in the process of writing a (non)book, presumably, the very book we are given to read, is a direct product of an age where parents have been superseded by algorithms...." -Ondřej Polák

“Memoirs of a Nobody, Manifesto for Everybody”–Review by Ondřej Polák

This peculiar piece is the product of the collaboration of writer/filmmaker/publisher Zak Ferguson and the “machine poet” RG Vasicek, “crafted – by Prague-ian and Brighton–ian” (84). The text, how…

The Big Blow-up left huge radioactive sores (the graves of cities) all over the face of the Earth. In time, from some of the women who had been near these shunned areas, the first totally hairless babies began to be born: "Baldies" with a new and terrifying difference: the Baldies were telepathic!
