Voices in the Void II
Like the original, Voices the Void II is a collection of short stories, each a dramatized thought experiment working to explore our relationship with technology and the future. This time a “baker’s dozen”, and incorporating some new themes such as cryptonomics and GPT-styled A.I.
Miami Chain, Prime Life, Roadkill, and Ghost Story were previously published in a standalone collection titled “Ghost Story & Other Crypto Tales”.
“Amazombie” was originally published as a one-page website at (no longer active) and later as a standalone Kindle book.
All the other stories in this collection are original and never before published. I hope that you enjoy re-reading them as much as I do.
*If you have dramatic friends, it is a lot of fun to do a group reading, with assigned parts, over Zoom or Discord or even IRL.
“Oh yes, that does sound fun!”
“It is, indeed.”
“Question.”
“Yes?”
“Let’s say that my friends and I have a YouTube channel, can we use any of these as a script? For an SNL / BlackMirror style sketch?”
“Well…not releasing movie or TV rights or anything here ( call me), but as long as you clearly display a writer credit & tag @brianmichaelstegner yes, you can post a sketch online.”
“Awesome. I’m going to go spray-paint a rocking chair silver!”
“That’s the spirit.”
