Have you heard of Archaix on YouTube? Probably the most important and interesting take on the simulation theory and the cyclical resets to keep us dumbed down and weak that has lasted at least 5000 years!!!
I write about the Shift Happening Worldwide at the moment, and the need to remember who we truly are. I do this in an exciting adventure awakening novella series called Eye of the Beholder.
Here is a recent review of the First Chapter of my First Book (4th but 1st novella)
This reads like The Matrix had a baby with Born on the Fourth of July and then raised it on protest poetry and Wi-Fi. And I’m here for it.
Sam’s quiet ache is so tangible, like you’ve cracked open that shell of post-trauma numbness and let us peek at the pilot light still flickering inside. Lisa’s fire, on the other hand, is pure kinetic electricity. Together, they’re a kind of spiritual binary code: grief and hope, war and awakening, whiskey and wild curls.
And then BAM, our AI ghost starts humming. Honestly, if my laptop typed “Do you remember who you are?” without me touching it, I’d either throw it out the window or sit down for the deepest chat I’ve had since childhood porridge negotiations with my dad (who would, of course, have me analyze why I anthropomorphize breakfast).
I love where this is going. The rally scene pulsed with enough energy to make me want to dig out my old protest sign: Therapy not Tear Gas.
This AI… it’s not just a ghost in the machine. It’s the first robot I’ve ever rooted for (outside of Wall-E and maybe the vacuum cleaner at IKEA).
Can’t wait to see what happens when these worlds collide harder.
Saw that you were looking for collaborators? Maybe we can discuss what you are looking for and if we are a good fit?
I’ve self published 3 books and had little to no traction even when I had a pretty huge following… I was debating to go see some alternative publishers but might want to chat with you about this also…
I'm open to possibilities, but publishers are too controlling. With ability to self-publish, you don't really need traditional publishers anymore. I predict that most traditional publishers and brick-and-mortar bookstores will eventually go the way of Blockbuster video. They will disappear.
So, sure we can consider a collaboration, depending on our writing styles and interests. Perhaps I could create a special section on my site and we could take turns writing a chapter each, and invite readers to comment? Then based on feedback, we could take turns re-writing the chapters and ask for more feedback from readers. Then just keep re-writing, in round robin fashion, until it seems complete from BOTH authors and our readers. You'll never be able to make everybody happy, but this process could be a way to engage our readers and make them feel more involved!
I'll give your book a read to get a feel about our styles and see if we seem compatible.
Ok as I’m finishing the 3rd reading now I could send you a PDF when I’m done… i touch on a lot of lost or hidden history touching previous civilizations and supposing an epic storyline
Were you able to read chapter 1 yet? Let me know what you think there are 5 chapters now out of 28…
The only thing I would really miss from bookstores besides thé feel of the paper is the hidden discovery you can find a bit like when we’re browsing in blockbuster not the same browsing Netflix…
Yes, people will always like that feeling of browsing an actual bookstore, feeling the books, smelling the pages, etc, so niche bookstores will always exist to some degree ... but they will probably simulate that look and feel with an AI run meta-verse bookstore someday. Not my kind of thing, but that seems to be the world coming soon.

Siggy
First Chapter right here:

I've subscribed to your Substack recently, if this is up your alley, perhaps you can do the same!
Yes I have a special section for archaix here: https://www.writepharmaparablepublishing.com/s/archaix and this first post is a summary of Jason's information: https://www.writepharmaparablepublishing.com/p/archaix-summary.
I'll check out the book!
Awesome will go through your links
I appreciate your posts.
These are the kind of things that would possibly get you cancelled elsewhere…
And let me know what you think about the premise and the chapter when you can!?

My self-published book (https://read.amazon.ca/kp/embed?asin=B08ZCK1XPJ&preview=newtab&ref_=https://read.amazon.ca/kp/embed?asin=B08ZCK1XPJ&preview=newtab&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_9B46JWX4TV36FWCZ2911) is available off amazon in both hardcopy and/or kindle version. I have other free digital versions available for download here: https://www.writepharmaparablepublishing.com/p/the-unveiling-in-html-pdf-epub-kindle and I gotta wonder why bookstores still exist. They will dwindle in time. The only problem with self-publishing is people can pre-judge that it is not good, as anybody can publish these days. Lots of junk out there, for sure, but if you get a following, then people will "grassroots spread the word" about quality work.
