Bio
CANADIAN AUTHOR. Essayist on history and Millennial tech culture. Blogger. Poet and writer of literary fiction and creative non-fiction.
LC Douglass writes dark matter literary fiction. Almost 5 per cent of ordinary matter and energy are measurable. The rest, made up of dark matter and dark energy, lies beyond our ken. Douglass follows the conventions of historical research and realism. However, her stories describe a reality which is much larger than we normally presume.
Originally from Montreal, she received early training in visual arts in Ottawa. After studying history, literature, and German, she lived in Europe for several years while doing doctoral work in modern history at St. Antony's College, Oxford.
She is writing a history of the 21st century on her blog, HISTORIES OF THINGS TO COME, with a focus on the impact of technology. One reader has described it as "the greatest blog on the Internet." The site has a regular international readership of 30,000+ hits per month and a total of 5+ million hits.

podcast
More Podcasts!
I'm planning more podcasts. The New Mythology for a New Millennium podcast concerns my literary work. The Rare Earths and Rare Tech podcast will contain mostly AI-generated basic updates about new breakthroughs. Stay tuned for a third podcast which will feature my analytical commentaries on these breakthroughs from historical and cultural perspectives.
Follow up blog posts on the AI podcast are at Histories of Things to Come, The Dragonfly, and Patreon.
NEW AT PATREON
The Theory of Everything: did an experimental AI just unify quantum mechanics and general relativity behind the scenes? If based on privileged AI access, let's hope academic authors attribute their breakthroughs to the AI, and not to themselves. This raises serious questions about a new 1 per cent who have access to these models - or even interface with them - and the rest of us.
