You’re not being misrepresented. You’re being misunderstood. And that’s costing you real money. Every day, AI platforms like Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Copilot are shaping how the world sees you. Whether it’s investors, clients, or partners—they’re doing digital due diligence before you get in the room. And if those machines don’t understand who you are, they won’t trust you.

This book gives you the blueprint to change that—before the algorithms lock in their version of your story for good. Inside, you’ll find a series of sharp, fictional-but-entirely-plausi...

What does it mean to be human in a universe of shifting, sometimes terrifying realities? Eighteen stories from Jack Skillingstead’s second decade of publishing feature intense and surprising explorations of who we are, who we wish to be, and who we can’t be. In “The Whole Mess” a genius math professor solves a multiverse equation only to find himself pursued by ancient Masters across the many iterations of his could-have-been lives. “Straconia” gives us a Kafkaesque world where all the lost things go, including people who must first find themselves before they can find a way back home. “Tribute” looks at a post-NASA space race that goes nowhere—until an unlikely pair of marooned astronauts find each other and the future. Also included in this collection is “The Writing Life,” a self-reflection on memory, ambition, and imagination in the formation of one writer’s journey.
