..and the devil died screaming..a cyberpunk / dystopian book project
Welcome to my substack mentalist cyberpunk project which will hopefully become a novel that I indie publish. Join me as the adventure unfolds for Walter, our main character.
This a live writing, story art project. This graphic novel is a true cyberpunk mentalist fiction created with a dialogue between low life (the writer) and high tech (the Ai), it is an ongoing dialogue that will grow and change over time.
And the devil died screaming: Season One in the Ultra-High Series
I am writing/creating a psychological cyberpunk dystopian fantasy, a graphic novel, and a live writing experiment between writer/story artist Sam I Am and AI / Artificial Intelligence.
Art by Wonder Ai and Kiling Ai directed by Sam I Am. Words by Sam I Am.
An the original alternative version of this project, can be found on my website here And the devil died screaming - a cyberpunk mentalist fantasy
mentalist 👺 cyberpunk / dystopian / psychological fiction and non-fiction. noise maker | unpicking systems of influence, coercion and control | mentalist storyteller > my work is a conversation between low life (human) and high tech (Ai)
On this substack I am trying to delve deeper into the unconscious fears and desires of the narrator, characters and the writer.
The final result will hopefully be the combination of the two interwoven into a novel that will create a unique narrative and perhaps a film series. Currently I am about half way through the rewrite of this substack, with two new episodes almost ready to go live (just need to find time for that), with a total of around sixty episodes in this season in various drafts. Season two is currently at around 30 episodes in first draft.
This novel is also meant to be a future potential history of the world we live in today. A foreshadowing of current events.
Blurb in progress
As society and capitalism face the potential of collapse, everything seems to be spiraling out of control. The climate crisis, pandemics, unprovoked wars, and loss of basic rights all contribute to this chaos. Meanwhile, corporations continue to gain more power, fueled by our oversharing on big tech platforms.
This is a glimpse into the future - a warning of what could happen if we fail to take action. Walter was a master hacker, behavioral architect, designer, and programmer of hyper-realistic virtual worlds. His creations were so immersive that distinguishing them from reality became difficult.
When disaster struck, it was the big tech that saved humanity with their Ultra-High Reality Pods and carefully designed metaverse. As humans retreated into these virtual worlds, the earth began to heal itself. But was this all part of big tech's larger plan? Will Walter make the right decision? Or has his obsession with programming, hacking, and chasing the ultimate high blinded him to the truth? Even he may not know as he delves deeper into shamanic practices and isolates himself in a world of solitude.
Through a futuristic lens, this cyberpunk novel reflects on the dysfunctional world we currently live in. It delves into the dark structures of control and manipulation that serve as a warning for our future.
