this is what we get, and we forget. we put it there
or at least we allowed it to happen. we never questioned the result.
we never questioned the questions that got us there.
or maybe we did, and we left the gaslight on.
who knows anymore? the only truth is in fiction. ย
and there lies the rub. because truth follows fiction, and fiction exposes truth.
and so, what are we left with, but our own projection?
and it is what we created. did we manifest wisely?
or just carefully back out of the parking lot.
prophecies that self-fulfill are perpetual daydreams.
of tomorrow that never comes. and is here before itโs forgotten.
this is what we get. we need to lie in it and think about what weโve done.
we need to slowly stew in a pot of self-loathing. to realise what we have become.
and recognise the part we played in it. even if we are guilty of nothing.

A live version of My Love by London Grammar was playing in the background whilst I created and directed the images for this piece of writing. I feel this song aptly captures the image created by Wonder Ai and the mood of the moment.

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.
