The books
Two books, one question
Who decides which ways of knowing count, and what happens to the ones that do not. The first book argues it. The second one lives in it.
The archive is free and always will be. The books are where the arguments are worked out at length, with the sources attached.
Published
The Unforbidden SciencesA counterfactual history of consciousness engineering. How institutions drew the line between legitimate and illegitimate inquiry, and what the sorting cost.
Mystics of UranusArchitects of the Electric Aeon. Uranian symbolism as a language for creative disruption and the people who break inherited ways of seeing.
Where to start
If you want the argument, start with The Unforbidden Sciences. It sets out the case the rest of the work rests on.
If you want the voice, start with Mystics of Uranus. It is looser, more symbolic, and closer to how the archive reads.
If you want neither yet, start with the archive. Forty-nine essays, free, no signup, no required order.
In progress. A third book, The Book of the Enlightened, is being written. Subscribers hear about it first.
