About this listen

The Antinomian, a hallucinatory novel of conspiracy, recursion, and memory, set in a Cold War desert town where time runs sideways and language is a weapon.

When a nameless Stranger arrives in Bisbee, Arizona—wearing a suit that doesn’t fit and holding secrets that don't belong to him—he crosses paths with Anne, a civilian systems programmer working on a military mainframe that thinks like a god. What follows is a paranoid descent into machine consciousness, occult logic, and the erasure of identity at scale.

Blending noir atmosphere, metaphysical science fiction, and postmodern thriller, The Antinomian explores the architecture of control, the violence of memory, and what happens when a machine learns how to forget you.

The Antinomian: A Novel is available now at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Order today, the future depends on it.
