Down the rabbit hole we go! Each conversation in this series connects in unexpected ways. Every new episode spurring a new line of inquiry, like tunnels turning off in different directions, each with an origin that’s traced back to episode 273.

This episode features George Wylesol who is an artist and author based in Baltimore, Maryland. In this conversation, you’ll hear about George’s grown-up choose-your-own-adventure book, 2120, that forces the reader to question who is in control. You’ll hear about his inspiration for the work, his technical process, as well as how AI’s evolution shaped the book’s content and meaning. George also waxes nostalgia for early Internet culture and websites like those found on the now defunct Geocities website.



I'm all about interesting projects with interesting people!
