The accessible entry point
to the Woah philosophy.

Where the Woah framework addresses the philosophical and civilisational dimensions of exponential change, The Little Book of Woah is the practical companion — the guide for anyone who has felt the vertigo of rapid AI change and wants a way through it that is neither denial nor despair.

It draws on Zen wisdom, Shannon's Information Theory, and exponential thinking to offer four principles for navigating the AI age with clarity and equanimity. Free to download, free to share, designed to be passed on.

O.Welles 19/8.4
Owelles — Book I

In the red desert of the Very Bad Lands, a Runabout hobbles through the noon heat with a crocked ankle, a clockwork watch she cannot read, and a bullet she is expected to use on herself if captured.

This is the world after the fourth shift. Not the dystopia of robots and singularities — something stranger and more recognisable: a society that has organised itself around the suppression of surprise and called it freedom. Between Orwell's clarity and Welles's roads not taken. Written in a language all its own.

"A naturally gifted writer with a rare and impressive social conscience."

The Laws of Mootball

The official governing document of the world's most consequential sport — as practised in the world of the novel. A sport and a civic act simultaneously. Neither purpose may be sacrificed without invalidating the contest. Attributed to President O. Welles: "The gladiators died because the crowd was bored. Our players win or lose because the crowd is paying attention. I'll take that trade."

Orange Film Prize runner-up
Comedy drama
The Biggest Apple

Played out over just 48 hours, we witness a young, jaded New Yorker going from broke and despairing to becoming one of the richest, most powerful people in all of human history. Written from direct experience of New York — the Waldorf, Ketchum, the Institute of Private Investors. The comedy of extreme wealth observed from close quarters.

Thriller
Random Acts

A terminally ill money launderer faces the wrath of his former clients as he seeks ever more novel ways to give away their ill-gotten gains. Moral inversion as plot engine — the criminal as the most ethical person in the room. The social conscience again, this time wearing a crime thriller's coat.
