His Systemic Series—Systemic (2020), Host (2023), and Interface (2026)—follows a world transformed by superintelligent AI from apparent utopia, to collapse, to the cultures that rise from its remains.
After thirty years building technology platforms, Chris writes about technology not as magic but as infrastructure: designed by people, trusted by institutions, and capable of consequences no one planned.

Chris’s Quotes

“Maybe there aren't any such things as good friends or bad friends - maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you're hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe they're always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for. Maybe worth dying for too, if that's what has to be. No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.”
― Stephen King, It
