explain the question.
It keeps ticking, this time bomb. And we make sure weโre standing real close. Most people disagree with me, that we are, if not already living in one, sleepwalking our way into dystopia. They ignore what is in front of them for the sheer convivence. And they feast greedily up on it. But there is nothing convenient about truth. ย No matter how flexible they
claim that to be. And there is the rub of the matter. In all this noise how is anybody not only able to think but to know what the question was ever really meant to be anyway.
Do we take this flame to the firewood or the oilfield.
What would have the greatest impact.
And are we asking the right question.
Only when we know the answer can we explain the question.
Let the hackers prevail. If there is anything left to hack.
And let the hacks come back to getting to the heart of the matter.
I fail to see the problem.
Maybe you can enlighten me.

Sleepless Dystopian has been the home to Cyberpunk Dystopian writer, storyteller, mischief maker, and behavioural digital and data-driven marketing specialist Sam I Am for around 10 years. Mainly, it has been my dumping ground for my half-written, half-baked projects and my ranting of a political nature.
Now, though, I want to start getting serious here, to make some money from my creative outputs and to offer my services to fellow creatives, activists, and campaigners.
The idea is to create an Indie Publishing and Marketing service. It is a work in progress, but as a Cyberpunk, I want to hack the systems of undue influence and coercive persuasion, turn them on their heads, and use them for good.
This site is also a social network, so you can join it for free and join me on the journey as I rediscover what I am doing here with new meaning and purpose.
