hi videogame fans

don’t worry this tumblr isn’t changing to monetise or advertise, but i wrote a novel with a kickstarter coming on tuesday and think that you might be interested. inspired by apogee and id software releases i’m using the ‘90s shareware distribution method, aka first ‘episode’ free

most things haven’t worked out, a science fiction novel wondering what’s gone wrong with the economy and our society ? most things haven’t worked out is a gothic science fiction novel about brain implants romance and our breaking world Michael has everything that many other mid-level corporate managers have, a devoted professional wife, a nice car, a job everyone wants, and a great home in a safe neighbourhood, all signs pointing to a life trending up. he also has a net-connected brain implant and a bad day at work that goes viral. not everything happens as expected, in fact most things haven’t worked out. a novel about love labour and loss in a future so near we may have already passed it, presenting a corporate world of wonder and misery where machines have a better chance of connecting with each other than people do. i describe the story as industrial gothic because it focuses on decaying personal relationships within the framework of a failing industrial economy
