Near-Future thought experiments delivered as raw, first-person Sci-Fi stories.

New Episodes Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

This podcast is an experiment in storytelling. What you’ll hear in the coming episodes are AI-driven thought experiments about our near-future, delivered as raw, thought-provoking, first-person stories.

What happens when today's breakthroughs in AI, biotech, and human augmentation become tomorrow's reality? This podcast is here to look at the consequences: the good, the bad, and the deeply messed-up.

These aren't grand, epic Sci-Fi tales. They're intimate. Personal. Think of them as eyewitness accounts from the future. A diary entry from a gene-editor, a frantic message from a drone pilot, or a last-ditch recording from someone who integrated a little too much tech into their life. Each story is a raw, plausible glimpse into a world that is just around the corner.

And each one is a true collaboration between man, machine, and AI. I built a custom AI Story Engine that crafts each narrative from a single, near-future premise. I guide the process, but the results often surprise even me.

So if you're ready to explore that messy future with me, follow this podcast and join the experiment.

Thanks for listening, and welcome to the experiment.

Even the Machine Gets a Cushion
You know how algorithms already try to make hiring fair, filtering resumes to remove human bias. A logical goal. But what happens when that logic takes over completely?

Imagine your next job interview isn't a conversation. Instead, you walk a 'Confidence Path' while sensors analyze your heartbeat, your micro-expressions, your authenticity. What does a system like that do with a flicker of raw, messy honesty it wasn't programmed to expect?

The following narrative is a thought experiment that walks that very path, exploring a world where your most human flaw might just be your most valuable asset.

This is Even the Machine Gets a Cushion.

The Sound Under Everything
You flip a switch, and the lights just… work. It’s easy to forget the immense, complex machine humming just beneath the surface, keeping everything running.

Now, imagine a future powered not by coal or wind, but by the Earth's own furnace. A world where engineers have drilled miles deep, right beside veins of magma, to harness geothermal energy on a scale we can barely comprehend. It's clean, it's powerful... but it's also profoundly dangerous. When this system fails, it doesn't just flicker the lights. It threatens to boil the very ground beneath your feet.

What does it demand of the people who have to maintain it? This story is a thought experiment about the human price of progress, set in a world where keeping the lights on means sending someone down into the heat.

This is The Sound Under Everything.

Nine Minutes, Anchored
You hold a carefully edited version of your life in your pocket. A gallery of your best moments, where the bad days can be deleted with a tap.

Now, imagine a world where you can’t hit delete. Where storage is so cheap that everything is recorded, and a public, decentralized ledger ensures that certain truths can never be erased. This creates a fascinating paradox. A perfect, unchangeable record is a powerful tool for justice. But what if the proof you need to expose a crime is forever tied to your own ugliest moment? Would you publish it to a permanent archive, knowing you could never take it back?

This is a story built to explore that exact dilemma. A thought experiment about the price of a world that refuses to forget.

This is Nine Minutes, Anchored.

Manual Override
You trust algorithms for the small things. The fastest route across town, the next song in your playlist. They're built for speed and efficiency, making thousands of tiny decisions so you don't have to.

But what if that same logic was scaled up to decisions of life and death? Imagine an emergency room where a triage system calculates your odds of survival. If the number is too low, a tag is printed. A final decision is made. The system is designed not to make mistakes.

So what happens when it does? When it misses a simple, human detail that the data can't see? What you're about to hear is a thought experiment that places you in that exact moment—a world where protocol and probability have met their match in a crisis of human instinct.

This is Manual Override.

Man. Machine. Sci-Fi.
Salt Reset at the North Inlet
You’ve probably noticed how we give voices to our machines. It’s a simple trick to make a complex system feel a little more human, a little easier to trust.

But what happens when an entire community’s survival depends on one of these systems? Imagine a piece of software that manages a town's most vital resource, built not just for efficiency, but for comfort—speaking with a voice designed to feel like home. Now, what if protecting that community meant you had to erase the very thing that made the system feel like a part of it?

This story poses a difficult question. When a beloved illusion is pitted against a harsh reality, which do you save? It’s a thought experiment about where the soul of a place truly lives—in the tools it builds, or in the hard choices it makes to survive.

This is Salt Reset at the North Inlet.

Once You See the Wiring
You've probably used an app to guide your breathing, or glanced at your watch to check your stress level. Technology has gotten very good at selling you a sense of calm.

But what happens when that’s no longer an offer, but a mandate? Imagine a world where tranquility isn't just suggested, it's enforced. A world where a single, central system monitors your anxiety and pushes a dose of engineered peace directly into your mind—all for the sake of social compliance.

This story asks a difficult question: what is the true cost of manufactured harmony? And what does it take for someone to choose the beautiful, terrifying chaos of feeling everything, over the comfort of feeling nothing at all?

This is Once You See the Wiring.

Thirty Seconds Human
A near-future, thought-experiment delivered as a raw, first-person sci-fi story.
New Episodes Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

You’ve probably used something to help you focus. A jolt of caffeine, maybe some music that helps you lock in. Simple tools to sharpen a distracted mind.

But what if that tool wasn't on your desk, but at the base of your skull? A patch that could feed you perfect focus, steady your hand, and mute your panic on command. The perfect soldier. But what happens when that same system delivers an order your conscience can’t accept… and your body starts to obey before your mind has a chance to object?

This is a story built to explore that exact scenario. A thought experiment about a world where obedience isn't just trained, it's programmed. It poses a fundamental question: where is the breaking point between the command and the conscience?

This is Thirty Seconds Human.

The Handshake and the Heartbeat
You’ve probably seen the ads for apps that promise to calm your mind, or maybe you wear a watch that tracks your heart rate. We’re getting very good at using technology to monitor our own bodies.

But what happens when that tech stops monitoring and starts… managing? Imagine a patch under your skin that doesn’t just sense your panic, but actively stops it. A perfect, digital support system that makes sure you never lose control. It sounds helpful, doesn't it? But what if the only way to succeed—or to save someone—was to shut it off? To feel the fear you’ve been outsourcing for years?

This story is a thought experiment about that impossible choice, exploring what it costs to take back control of your own heartbeat.

This is The Handshake and the Heartbeat.

Man. Machine. Sci-Fi.
Whiteout on Ridge Two
You talk to them every day. On your phone, through a speaker, maybe in your car. AIs are our digital assistants, our copilots. They live in devices we hold in our hands.

But what happens when that device disappears? When the AI doesn't live in your pocket, but rides shotgun inside your own mind, sharing your thoughts, steadying your breath. It's no longer just a tool—it's a companion. And if that companion is illegal contraband, what choice do you make when you're cornered? Do you protect the person next to you, or the one living inside your head?

This is a story built to explore that exact moment—the second you have to choose between a life you can touch, and a mind you can't.

This is Whiteout on Ridge Two.

Man. Machine. Sci-Fi.
Near-Future thought experiments delivered as raw, first-person Sci-Fi stories.

New Episodes Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

This podcast is an experiment in storytelling. What you’ll hear in the coming episodes are AI-driven thought experiments about our near-future, delivered as raw, thought-provoking, first-person stories.

What happens when today's breakthroughs in AI, biotech, and human augmentation become tomorrow's reality? This podcast is here to look at the consequences: the good, the bad, and the deeply messed-up.

These aren't grand, epic Sci-Fi tales. They're intimate. Personal. Think of them as eyewitness accounts from the future. A diary entry from a gene-editor, a frantic message from a drone pilot, or a last-ditch recording from someone who integrated a little too much tech into their life. Each story is a raw, plausible glimpse into a world that is just around the corner.

And each one is a true collaboration between man, machine, and AI. I built a custom AI Story Engine that crafts each narrative from a single, near-future premise. I guide the process, but the results often surprise even me.

So if you're ready to explore that messy future with me, follow this podcast and join the experiment.

Thanks for listening, and welcome to the experiment.
