I write about what happens to us when technology gets really good at doing things for us.

I came to these questions from inside technology, not from outside it.

I'm also autistic, and I'm proud of that part of who I am. It shapes the way I see the world. I tend to notice systems, patterns, inconsistencies, and assumptions that other people may pass over, and I often find myself asking why something works the way it does rather than simply accepting that it does. That perspective has influenced both the way I work as an engineer and the questions I explore as a writer.

I spend my professional life building software and working with increasingly capable artificial intelligence systems. I'm fascinated by what these technologies can do, and I'm generally optimistic about what they can make possible.

But building them also makes certain questions difficult for me to ignore.

What happens when a tool becomes good enough that using our own judgment starts to feel inefficient? What happens when convenience stops removing burdens and starts removing participation? If a system can create, recommend, interpret, remember, decide, and eventually act for us, what exactly do we want to remain ours?

Those questions are the reason I write.
