Petshitter is $0.99 on Kindle this week. Two characters named Ted Kazinsky and Adell Fitler build a mesh-network startup disguised as a dog-waste app. Every chapter opens with a Unabomber-manifesto epigraph. Wrong man, right diagnosis.

My first novel started with a guy handcuffed to a chair while cops asked where the million dollars was.
He kept laughing. Not because he was brave. Because only Ricky knew where the money was.

I've written 30+ books. My favorite is called Petshitter. A love story about two people destroyed by their names who fall in love and build something dangerous. Every chapter opens with an epigraph from the Unabomber manifesto. The dedication: 'To all the founders who have to deal with this shit....
I'm looking for some world builders. I don't care if you've published books, I want to meet people who have created complex worlds filled with characters.
The US just issued a deportation order for a man whose stated crime was publicly opposing a war.
I wrote a book about this exact moment. Twenty-six kinds of anarchism. None of them surprised.

Not to show off. Because there was no book that would have helped me when I needed it, so I made the one I wish had existed.

Seven days.

Tunisian pirates. Andorran smugglers. 150 kidnapped Sicilian nuns who accidentally built a nation.
The funniest book I've written is also the most subversive. Chapter 1 drops next Thursday.

Most social media makes you feel worse because it's built to. Outrage keeps you scrolling. Comparison keeps you anxious. The feed is optimized for your attention, not your wellbeing. Xcrol is what I'm building instead. Privacy-first. No algorithm designed to make you feel small. xcrol.com
GenX grew up being told we'd do better than our parents. Then we watched the resources dry up in real time while the people who had them made sure they stayed had. We're not cynical. We're accurate. And some of us stopped waiting for permission to build something different.
In 2001 I bought a VW bus for $100 and moved into it. Not as a lifestyle brand. Not for Instagram. Because I had no money and needed somewhere to sleep that wasn't someone else's floor. The bus was freedom the same way it was homelessness. Same thing. Different day.
The real question was never where you're going.
It's whether you've found somewhere you can set your pack down.
One question from Baoism worth sitting with:
What are you consuming right now that makes you less than you were before you opened the app?
Stop Tox. Do Rox. Help Others.

In the Sultanate of Baboob, all men are named Mucho and all women are named Fatima.
Taxes are a moral failing. Blood debts are settled in person. The capital is Turban.
One Las Vegas dropout is about to become a Mucho.

March 31. Sitting in Japan with 10 books live on Amazon and a publishing sprint that felt impossible six months ago.
Not a brag. A proof of concept.
The tools exist. The will has to come from somewhere else.

Where do you feel most yourself — at home or on the road?
I've asked this question in about fifteen countries. The answer is almost always the same, and it's almost never what people expect.
The best part of any trip is the part you didn't plan.
The layover that turned into a week. The wrong bus that took you somewhere better. The stranger who became a friend in the rain.
Liminal Travel: new edition out.

The Sultanate of Baboob has no standing army.
The borders are defended by a shared agreement that what's inside is too strange and wonderful to bother destroying.
Most empires eventually want what the Sultanate has.
The Sultanate already knows this.
Stop Tox isn't quitting cold turkey.
It's noticing what's draining you and choosing differently. The feed designed to keep you angry. The group chat that never actually connects you.
Baoism's first principle. Start noticing.

Bought a VW bus for $100 in 2001. Lived in it to prove you could exist outside the machine.
Turns out you can. The machine just keeps running anyway.
Still working on that part.
