Storytelling predates the wheel and the use of fire. Only storytelling allows us to bring the dead to life, go back or forward in time and breach the speed of light. I love that. Stories also allow us to see what's really behind the curtain, along with Alice. On this site you will find my storytelling works in progress.
The current project is an anthology with the working title of “Bedtime Stories for Artificial Intelligences”. It will ultimately take the form of a collection of loosely connected narrative threads that can be read individually, or together. I am inspired by Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities and Italian Folktales, and Stanislaw Lem’s Cyberiad. That’s pretty much all I know about it at the moment.
