Listen to the audio chapters as they become available on this stream: the one and the zero
*the one and the zero*
a novel – spoken in time
The moment is frozen in time, haunting me all of these days.
A binary choice. A fork in our timelines.
A loss of everything I understood to be important in life.
An end.

This is not the end. Here is the next novel in the series: “The New Ending.”

understanding the one and the zero – i am constructing some maps for the complex storylines. Here’s the first one (incomplete) about my son’s zooms and crashes.
the poetry series that started this cascade of content: i’m beginning to tell the truth and i’m sorry (a poetic mapping of the same story – also in progress – the title from the book came from one of the poems)
a radiohead song we share – rough draft (my vocals). I’m in the process of recording this again with an all human band. Stay tuned.
