About this project: I am writing a weekly sci-fi story to the theme of Isaac Arthur’s SFIA videos. It’s a crazy challenging timeframe to create a good short story in, and to do so publicly is even more daunting. I’m just hoping some good stories come out of this, I have fun writing them, and most importantly, the audience enjoys!
Thanks for stopping by!

Outro music "Lazy Afternoon" by softy x Lucid Green courtesy of Lofi Records:
“Humanity can endure much, but it will not long endure the technologies of inhumanity.”
