@eliotpeper.bsky.social’s new book comes out to day. Here’s what I thought about it.

👇
Recent Reads: Ensorcelled. Eliot Peper's novella is a love story, to the mountains of the High Sierra and to the power of storytelling and gameplaying. It's also the story of a life well-lived and, oh so much more, all packed into a little volume that shows we can still make beautiful books. Worthy.

I've been an @eliotpeper.bsky.social fan for years now. I read this cover-to-cover in one sitting.

Can't recommend ENSORCELLED more highly.

My new book drops today!

Ensorcelled is a coming-of-age adventure about a boy who goes on a camping trip that changes his life, opening his mind and rewilding his attention.

At just 90 pages, it's a one-sitting read that will suck you in, make you think, and leave you changed.

Straight out of an @eliotpeper.bsky.social novel.

His novel Foundry, specifically. A recommended near-future thriller about the geopolitics of silicon.

This evening Anthropocene Magazine is producing a Climate Parables show at the Aspen Ideas Festival.

The SF performance sold out, so get tix while they last!

“This is how I wish the world was different” is one of my least favorite genres of discourse.

On the other hand, “here is a concrete plan for making this particular aspect of the world better” is one of my favorites.

What is fear’s opposite?

Not courage. Courage is what it takes to overcome fear, and cannot exist without it. The fearless have no courage, and no need for it.

LLMs don't just generate media, they are a new narrative medium, akin to the advent of printed books, radio and film.

I've been experimenting with this new medium at
Portola and it's working: 800k downloads/#1 app store ranking/millions in ARR.

Here's what we've learned.

My amazing signed copies from @eliotpeper.bsky.social are now where I can see them them every day, because they are aesthetic asf. I mean they’re also amazing to read, but it doesn’t hurt that they just vibe.

I built my own little internet bookstore.

It’s very simple. You can order my novels at their normal list price, and I'll personally sign and mail them to you.

That’s it. I hope you like it.

Peers make the best teachers.

Experts know so much they've forgotten what it's like to be a beginner.

Fellow students know your struggle. So learn together, and then teach each other what you learn.
