Jetse has seen the world. He nearly froze to death at Salar de Uyuni, suffered heatstroke in Purnululu, got lost in Ahmednagar, faced elephants in Maamba, and witnessed ten total solar eclipses. Check: The Divergent Panorama: https://jetse.substack.com
@futureupbeat.bsky.social2. On top of that, I just wrote a highly satirical, ‘if this goes on’, flash fiction piece about prompting AIs, tongue-in-cheek. Now I’m afraid that—like IDIOCRACY—it’s becoming a documentary. Dog help us all.
@futureupbeat.bsky.social1. I am so behind. It’s not only that actual creation is dying (replaced by prompting AIs), but it’s getting so bad that ‘reverse prompting’ is a thing: PROMPTLE. Sic transit gloria Mundi.
@futureupbeat.bsky.social9. Here’s the cover reveal again. Now you can buy it here: payhip.com/FutureUpbeat...
@futureupbeat.bsky.social8. Now here’s the cover reveal. So either go to my substack and start reading it here: jetse.substack.com/p/the-three-...
@futureupbeat.bsky.social7. So tried to set up a new web shop, with some decidedly mixed success. Eventually settled on Payhip, which was surprisingly easy to set up (link to follow).
@futureupbeat.bsky.social6. Then wanted to upload it to my weebly shop, only to find it doesn’t work anymore (so must fix a lot of links on my substack, oh well. Weebly sucks.)
@futureupbeat.bsky.social5. I’m getting to it. Prepared HE THREE REFLECTORS OF CONSENSUAL REALITY (the novel in question) for publication, which, of course, took longer than expected (although some faults were fixed).
@futureupbeat.bsky.social4. Cover reveal: this one’s alright, but too human-centric:
@futureupbeat.bsky.social3. Cover reveal: this is not the cover of THE THREE REFLECTORS OF CONSENSUAL REALITY, because it’s a cliché wall of what many people think is ‘alien’:
@futureupbeat.bsky.social2. Cover reveal: this is not the cover of THE THREE REFLECTORS OF CONSENSUAL REALITY (even if it’s quite nice):
@futureupbeat.bsky.social1. Cover reveal: this is not the cover of THE THREE REFLECTORS OF CONSENSUAL REALITY (although it’s almost topical):
@futureupbeat.bsky.socialJust to remind you that I told you so:
@futureupbeat.bsky.socialI am evil because I have delayed the 41st instalment of “The Three Reflectors of Consensual Reality”. I need to set something up first. Bear with me, because tomorrow it will go live and it will be the reveal of the cover!
@dreamtheorymedia.bsky.socialReposted by @futureupbeat.bsky.socialOver the next few months we have new flash fiction lined up from @futureupbeat.bsky.social, @rubycosmos.bsky.social, @mmschreier.bsky.social, @danpeacock.bsky.social and more! We also have more of Cody Schell's wonderful visual strip "ART of the Solar System".
@futureupbeat.bsky.socialI told you so, part 2: about how consciousness arises.
@futureupbeat.bsky.socialJust to tell you I told you so:
@futureupbeat.bsky.socialMaybe the most METAL attitude ever:

@futureupbeat.bsky.social666 may be the number of the beast, but 11 is the number of the fool. Check out my crazy eleventh solar eclipse:
