In the long run, you gain a huge amount of understanding amd empathy from fiction, especially if you don't read it much.

2026-03-08 18:53:34 UTC

Over the last 5 years, I've been in a 'Lads' Book Club' with 4 friends.
(Read on for my 3 favourite picks 📚)
The other lads are quite slow readers, so we only get through 4 books a year or so (I usually read about 30-50 books per year).
Still, it's a brilliant feeling (and a growing trend) to discuss fiction in a men's (or women's) circle.
Thought this might resonate with other nostriches, especially as the book we just discussed was recommended by @nprofile…us4a.
All 5 of us are writers or actors, and all are heavy readers. Still, it's great to approach each session with no agenda, no posturing, no fear of saying the wrong thing and getting cancelled. We value stories and characters from all walks of life, even if we are all White 40-something men.
***
My favourites books from the last few years:
1. Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson.
Beautiful court room drama with WWII historical context set in a fictional island in the PNW.
2. Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
A brilliant re-telling of David Copperfield set against the backdrop of the Deep South opiod epidemic.
3. A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
An understated slow burn with impeccable plotting told over decades of imprisonment in Soviet Russia.
***
Why am I writing this?
In the hope it'll prompt a few nostriches to read one of these books, or better yet, join forces and discuss the meaning of stories with other likeminded people.
No matter how many AI agents we build, human-centric fiction still has a place at the heart of our world.

CHAPTER 18 - Up to Date
UnPhiltered is drawing to a close. We’re pretty much up to date.
I’ll write one more chapter after I’ve had a chance to assess this little experiment.
I started this series with no expectations other than hoping it would be useful to other writers, interesting to those who have followed my career, and cathartic for me.
My only intention was to share a bit more about myself with raw honesty. It felt odd to leave the jokes and self-deprecation aside for a while. But I’m satisfied, even if the concept didn’t fit into any one box. UnPhiltered covered travel, teaching, short stories, books, coaching, communities, ghostwriting, digital businesses, bitcoin, and more. It didn’t really go into details. Maybe that’s another project.
So what’s next for my writing?
A few things.
Content writing and op-eds for clients continues apace. I have some cool projects with bylines coming up with White Noise, Bitcoin Art Magazine, Bitcoin Ireland Conference, and plenty of secret assignments too. In Bitcoin, I’m able to publish in my own name, write what I want, and also reach more people when writing for brands.
If there is one thing Bitcoin (and freedom tech in general) breaks down, it’s your sense of needing to pose and posture. The more honest your work is, the better the conversations and relationships you build are. When you stop running on the fiat hamster wheel, you can downshift and focus on smaller, more valuable communities.
Ultimately, we work to gain time.
When we choose how to spend all of our time, we can be more intentional.
I’d like that for my writing too. For example, in October, I’m taking a very personal trip that will test me mentally and physically. I plan to write about that too.
Re: fiction, I’ve come up with every excuse in the book for why my magical realism novel stalled. Now, I’m writing it again, and in a couple of months, I’ll be at the editing stage. Even though I’m not sure if I’ll publish it, my sights are set on the end.
Someone in my writing group asked me, “If you don’t make any money from fiction and you find it hard, why do you write it?”
“Because I have to do the work,” I said. “If something is easy, it’s boring to me.”
She stared, unable to comprehend, as though I had spoken in invisible ink.
Every day, I see more parallels between writers and those building tools for freedom. It’s never easy, but we focus on our craft. We have to.
That’s what is possible when you work to the beat of a different type of time.
Thanks for sticking with me.

How to develop a Nostr client in 10 simple steps:
1. Visit the Nostr GitHub repository and get familiar with the protocol.
2. Write down all the NIPs on pieces of paper, put them into a hat, and draw 13 random ones. Use ONLY these to build your client.
3. Prepare for marathon code sprint by drinking 2.5L of GM.
4. Publish code, then use a stable client to write a post asking for help from real devs.
5. Buy 3 large rolls of duct tape to perform fixes for version 0.0000001.
6. Post memes to collect enough zaps so you can buy another 2.5L of GM.
7. Embark on a dev quest with two close allies. To reach version 0.000001, you must slay Pubki, the Nightshade Troll, and reach the town of Aldenmorrow. You are armed with a bluetooth keyboard, a faulty relay, and an ostrich feather.
8. Call Jack Dorsey.
9. Appear on 250-300 podcasts to and reach 1 million repetitions of the word 'decentralization'.
10. Launch version 1.0 and wonder how to increase your userbase from 3 to 10.

CHAPTER 17 - A ROTTEN UNCLE
I am an uncle to two nieces. They are now teenagers, but when they were younger, I wrote them books for Christmas. Five, in fact.
https://blossom.primal.net/020b7cc8230a837d03fb81d8b30bac46df01234e9fd14d08d7d831275351613f.png
The first was a one-off picture book I made with paper, glue, and photos of the girls.
It was about an oversized talking chicken (personifying me) in search of his family in Hong Kong.
The next was an animated story about two family cats solving a cozy mystery.
After that, another physical book (a short story) with the return of the chicken and his eggy sidekick. Only two copies of the book exist in the world.
Then, another digital ‘book’ of limericks followed. And finally, in 2022, a book of 26 tales about rotten uncles (only one of them is me).
These children’s books have all been fun projects because they allowed me to write for just two people. If you know your audience, you can really nail the humour and include some Easter eggs. See some pictures of the books and of me being mean to my nieces in this post.
I’ve never had any desire to become a children’s author, just a desire to give cool presents (plus an infantile sense of humour and a ready supply of fart jokes).
***
Back in my coaching days, I worked with a brilliant Italian illustrator and author, helping her translate children’s stories into English.
In summer 2024, I got in touch with Caterina and asked her to illustrate the uncles books. We’d self-publish and split the profits. Typically, this is a very big ask for an illustrator, but she was keen to help due to our previous work together. She knew publishers in Italy who might be interested, and I figured she’d be someone great to work alongside.
It felt nerve-wracking going back to self-publishing after working with indie publishers on my last three books. I didn’t know much about marketing to the parents of 6-11-year-olds. But, I readied myself to go, once more, unto the breach, and attempted to build hype online.
We really worked hard on the book, even translating it into Italian. As many of the characters come from different places, I figured I could offer a royalty split and tap into my network to get more translations done. (Many of these translations are still pending, and I do still plan on batching them together and publishing later this year.)
As often happens with self-publishing, the launch fell flat. I found it very difficult to get reviews from early readers, and couldn’t find the right category and keywords to help parents discover this book.
Before publishing, I'd imagined uncles desperately looking for birthday or Christmas presents for their little nieces and nephews. This book would have answered their prayers, making them look like saints in comparison to the 26 featured knobheads.
Still, it was worth a shot. As with any project, I learned a good deal, and I’m thankful to all those who contributed. Entrepreneurs (writers included) fail with the vast majority of their ideas.
My career as a children’s humorist remains on the back burner, and I’m not sure I’ll write another book for my nieces. Nowadays, they usually roll their eyes at my cringeworthy jokes.

That's true. There is a lot that AI can cover. As with most industries, it will take over the bottom 80% of tasks (rated by skill).

It just means us humans refocus on higher value tasks.
