Tech, Fiction, & the Future

Tech, Fiction, & the Future

Imagine sitting atop Voyager 1’s aluminum frame, gliding through interstellar space, the little probe’s Golden Record set so loud that sleepy stars awaken and the icy vacuum shudders, tearing open wormholes—quantum chutes to ancient galaxies. Yeah, that’s my idea of a good time.

Welcome! Here, you’ll find stories about tech, fiction, & the future. My articles and essays explore artificial intelligence, airships, jetpacks, quantum teleportation, robot umps, and more. My Glide Trilogy groks the future, and Cap City Mysteries imagines all the ways teens could set us straight. Check out my sneak previews, trivia challenges, cartoons, and gallery of futuristic inventions. Climb aboard.
