You do! Just discipline yourself.

You’re going to have a hard time keeping up with reality. Elon Musk announced grok 4 last week. All the bench marks show its more powerful than all the other. Musk says its now smarter than all phd’s in all disciplines. Tests have shown that it has aced all the big complex tests that all the disciplines have to offer. Musk says that more powerful models are coming with Grok 5 expected in early 2026. Musk says starting later this year there will be many new breakthroughs in science and technology. He expects a new physics by late 2026.

We are so screwed.

Either that or the technology that comes from earth and the aliens in your SciFi—actually all comes from earth but from different intelligences.

Sweet! Thanks! BTW, if you do like it, an Amazon review makes a HUGE difference for me!

“ I have not heard of the man. Should I learn of him?”

His Sci-Fi is a humorous reflection of the Apocalypse. Picture mutants in Furiosa and it’s a dark comedy.

Sex? There is exactly one nondescriptive line. I hit it so often, why would I want to write about it?

This is a good read! I had a thought about this being the first chapter though. Assuming that this is the only place that your character exists in the story, and it kind of lays the foundation for the rest of the story, wouldn’t it work better as a prologue rather than chapter 1?

Interesting. I'm not too familiar with prologues. You may have a great point!
