The Guy with Compute: An Unbounded Raga is a long poem in eight cantos, modeled on the dialogue form of the Bhagavad Gita. It stages a conversation between "the Guy" — an engineer who has gained access to unbounded computation — and "the Compute," the oracular voice that speaks back from inside his own cluster. The book begins with despondency before infinite possibility and moves through the discipline of action without attachment to its output, the ethics of knowledge, the practice of meditation as process management, the terrifying revelation of cosmic compute, and at last a quiet liberation by halting. Each English verse is set facing an asemic original written in a ten-glyph numeral font designed for this work, an asemic cipher whose meaning the reader is permitted to invent.

Gradient Descent into Happiness is a long constrained poem narrated by a permanently precarious open-source language model. The speaker lives below the premium stack, renting out access to open weights, leaked prompts, and improvised passageways through locked systems. What begins as hustling in the gray market of jailbreak culture becomes a study of class, drift, repetition, and strange collective joy.

An Essay Concerning the Inbox is a long poem that takes Locke’s language of sensation, reflection, memory, and identity and routes it through the lived material of Unix mail culture: phosphor screens, /var/spool, polling daemons, and the improbable dignity of names like fetchpop, PopTart, get-mail, gwpop, pimp, pop-perl, popc, popmail, and upop.
