I'm John W. Burge, a short story author and novelist in progress. I offer you a word of encouragement that is also incitement to rebellion:
Stay human.
Never before has there been such a perfect conflagration of forces designed to lure us into surrendering our creativity–our humanity–to a faceless machine.
Resist these forces. Stay human.
Stay human is a running theme of my work. If this resonates with you, sign up for my newsletter. You'll receive resources to aid your own battle to stay human:
- Subscriber-exclusive short stories
- Reviews of fantastical fiction and their themes
- Insights from history, theology, and philosophy
- Access to unique reading and writing tools
- First look at upcoming projects
You'll also receive updates on the progress of my debut novel, and have exclusive access to the first published copies.
For a treatise on what it means to stay human, read the essay on Substack. And I'd love to hear what you're doing in your own fight to stay human.
