I am lucky enough to have lived to the ripe old age of 21 before the internet became a thing, along with mobile phones.Â
I remember a time before now.
I am not saying it was better, but it certainly didn’t feel worse.
I must be careful I don’t get lost in nostalgia only to rose tint the memory.Â
The benefits of this world, what we have at our fingertips, Gods could only dream of in the not-too-distant past.Â
But is this illusion of freedom worth giving up our lives for?Â
Is the knowledge worth it? Apples become bitter with age. Â
Time will tell.
If we have any left.

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.
