Synthetic Horizons
Short stories at the edge of AI, technology, and the human condition — previews here, full stories on Wattpad.
✨ Welcome to Synthetic Horizons ✨
I write short stories about the future — where humanity and Technology/AI collide, and nothing is ever as it seems. It may be dark, dystopian, or even amusing; there are so many potential paths it surely will take.
My series, Synthetic Horizons, explores worlds where technology feels like salvation… until you realize what it’s really costing us. It may cost us, but it will ultimately prove to be salvation. Who knows...
💬 Let’s Connect!
I’m a new author, a retired 30+ year Information Technology professional who was more of a tech pioneer, having worked on a wide range of projects. I love hearing from readers — your thoughts, theories, and questions shape the direction of future stories. Drop a comment on the stories or chapters as you read:
- Who do you trust in a world run by AI?
- Would you rebel… or adapt?
- What future would you choose?
👋 Fun Facts About Me
- I’m fascinated by dystopias that pretend to be utopias.
- I mix storytelling with fundamental questions about AI and freedom.
- Outside of writing, I run and enjoy 5Ks up to Marathons (much slower than my characters run from the truth 😉).
