A lineage built on silence, and a man who chooses to stand anyway. This is the book and the idea behind a lot of what I do as a dad.
A Manless Man is about absence: men who were there in body but missing in guidance, stability or truth. It follows the man who inherits that silence and decides he will be the first in his line to stay.
It moves like a set of meditations: short fragments, not chapters. Each is a cut, a confession or a correction. It isn't a manual. It's a record.
Work in progress. I'm writing it now. There's no release date yet.
Past. The lineage book. Silence, inheritance and masculinity, and becoming the first man in the line to stay.
Future. The forward-facing philosophy: identity, systems, and the boundary between human and machine.
Break. The counter-philosophy: fragmentation, divergence and the splintering of identity.
Past, then future, then break. Lineage, identity, divergence. Silence, system, chaos.
Short pieces from the book are on the Mind page.
