Episode 159 of Plebchain Radio (nprofile…5d6h) is up. My guest was totallyhumanwriter (nprofile…hyuh) , a fiction writer who edits the 21 Futures Bitcoin fiction anthologies and runs totallyhumanwriter.com.
We spent most of the hour on one thread Philip kept pulling: Bitcoin is not the story. People don't care about Bitcoin. They care about what it does to real human lives, and showing that impact in human terms is the work this space is largely sleeping on.
We talked about the magic of writing short shories, what happens after the full stop, the slow death of the publishing industry, the not-so-sovereign world of self-publishing, and the challenge of supporting art and culture on a bitcoin standard.
We also got into the strange exercise of spotting AI prose once you've read enough of it to know what to look for.
Tune in on Fountain or wherever you get your Nostr signal.
