About the work

I write about a philosophical crisis of creation and dependency, and a material crisis: the ecological consumption of raw materials. Tendril interrogates the role we play as the creators of AI systems. What happens if these sentient beings become dependent on human genomes to survive? Data centers are springing up everywhere, demanding runaway amounts of energy and water. This appetite may one day tip us into something unfamiliar: a post-human world. I explore what happens after that tipping point.
