It’s been six years since I’ve posted anything here. I have no idea whether this space still has followers, whether any of you will get emails notifying you of this post, or whether most of the subscriber addresses are stale and will bounce. I’ve kept this website around mostly as a repository of my past work.
I am now fully, and happily, retired. We’ve decamped from Taxachusetts and are delighted to be living in Sarasota, Florida. In the interim, I co-founded the MIT Free Speech Alliance to fight against cancel culture and promote free speech, viewpoint diversity, and academic freedom at my alma mater. Since our founding we’ve raised nearly a million dollars in foundation grants and individual donations, have hired a full-time Executive Director, have a seat at the table with influence that is moving the needle at MIT, and have run numerous programs including our debate series and annual conferences.
The above being said, I’m a startup guy. Now that the MFSA is in good hands with a solid economic foundation and excellent board of directors, I’m spending less time on activism and more on my new enthusiasm. Which is becoming an AI co-writing novelist.
I recently self-published my first novel titled Twelve Voices in the Hall of Mirrors. It’s a contemporary political thriller that posits the rise of a third-party movement to compete in the 2028 presidential election. You can grab a Kindle version for $2.99 on Amazon here, or spend a little more on the paperback if that’s your druthers. It starts out a bit slow as I build the characters (a shortcoming I am fixing in my second novel, now under development) but I think you’ll find it provocative and engaging, particularly as it looks at the interplay between politics and digital media.
