God from a Machine!

There’s never been anything like Machina.

I think my main problem, in not pushing Machina, is that I just wanted to write. I didn’t care about pushing through the quirks and foibles of the publishing industry, I just wanted to write.

I often think about this in conjunction with other writers.

Other writers suddenly want to teach people how to write. They only have their own experience, their own opinions, and why aren’t they writing?

Other writers start foundations, begin reading programs. Some writers think that now they have made it they are important and that everybody wants their stupid opinion. But it’s their writing that got them there, so why aren’t they writing?

Oh, I know, some of this is necessary. You need to diversify, find new audiences, find tax loopholes.

But I didn’t care about any of that. I just wanted to write.

ABOUT THE BOOK!

One of the cleverest things I came up with, in writing Machina, is why people would turn into bugs.

In Metamorphosis, by Kafka, the kid is turning into a bug because…school? Is that what education does to one?

Hmmm.

But my reasoning, as outlined in the book one, is much better, and it is true.

If you look around you see scabby people skittering about, hands out for change, dirty, unkempt, and those are the nice ones. So what made them into mindless scavengers?

And, here’s the real question, what would happen if all these scavengers weree hooked into one hive mind and became an army?

What cities would they build? What attitudes would they have for human folks?

More important, what can humans do about this pestilence, this plague, this more than biblical disaster?

These things, and a million more, are built into Machina, and the eventual solution is something that has never been written of in all of literature.

This is the cleverest, most intricate, most socially impactful, wildest book you will ever read.
