Lawrence Nault is a Canadian author, filmmaker, and host of Stone & Signal whose work explores the intersections of ecology, technology, and human meaning. Writing across speculative fiction, poetry, and other narrative forms, he creates stories that reflect on the futures we are building, the systems that shape our lives, and our evolving relationship with the natural world.

Rooted in Alberta’s Badlands, Nault’s work is grounded in landscape, reflection, and a deep attention to both fragility and resilience. Whether exploring identity in an AI-shaped future, ecological disruption, or the quiet forces that shape human lives, his writing is driven by a belief in the power of story to question, connect, and imagine what comes next.

“The American Dream is a dystopian nightmare seen through the rose-coloured stained glass of its own mythology.”
Lawrence Nault

“They don't call wars “gun wars,” “cannon wars” or “bomb wars.” Those are the weapons being used.

So why do we keep calling these “trade wars”?

Trade isn't the war. Tariffs, sanctions and access to markets are the weapon.

These weapons are being weilded against allies and enemies alike.

Perhaps we should call them what they are: "wars of economic coercion".

The weapon is trade policy. The objective is submission.

And the rest of us are collateral damage.”

“They were already calling 2026 the Data Centre Boom—not only for the sheer number of proposals appearing on desks around the world, but for the growing roar of opposition to them. By summer, the Boom had become the Great AI Race, trending on social media as #grAItRace, with governments competing for projects, developers competing for power, and everyone racing to build before whispers of a Data Centre Bust became something louder.”

“Even the wind carries the memory of forests long gone.”
Lawrence Nault

“Not everything that breaks is meant to be repaired. Some things must be remade, with different hands and different intent.”
Lawrence Nault

“The digital world sells you infinite freedom, but true freedom lies in knowing when to log off, walk outside, and plant something real.”
Lawrence Nault

“A quote is just ink until the moment makes it matter. It’s not the words that change—it’s where you are when they find you.”
Lawrence Nault - The Mountain Hermit

“The point of a story can penetrate far deeper than the point of any bullet.”
Lawrence Nault - The Mountain Hermit

“In an age of infinite information, our choices have never been more governed by what we cannot see—or do not know. We rely on gatekeepers, summaries, and interpretations, not because we trust them—but because we’re overwhelmed by the flood and too weary to wade upstream.”
Lawrence Nault

“A child asks ‘why’ a hundred times before breakfast—and we call it innocence. But maybe it’s wisdom. Maybe the answer was never an answer at all. Maybe it was the asking.”
Lawrence Nault

“When you live in a world built on ones and zeros, it’s no surprise that everything in between gets filtered out.”
Lawrence Nault
