Preface of Futurebad

Futurebad is my first proprietary story. I have desired to create an alternate history for some time while being cautious not to connect it too much to our own (I write fiction, after all). My objective with Futurebad is not to write predictive fiction or hard sci-fi but rather to use the setting of Earth and some familiar places as a base for absurdist storytelling.

A friendly warning, Futurebad offers no solutions — none of my fiction does. I am not trying to tell readers how our world should (or shouldn’t) work or even how it does (or doesn’t) work. I am also not trying to bring attention to certain issues in our societies. I am not an activist or philosopher. I just write to release the imaginings in my mind. There is no higher meaning to my writing.

While I have tried many different kinds of writing throughout the years, I believe what fits me best is just trying to tell a story for the story’s sake.
