  1. 1. Self Reference Engine

    A collection of short, often interlinked speculative tales that blend scientific detail, mathematical play, and metafictional tricks to probe memory, identity, and the logic of stories themselves; the narratives move between clinical descriptions of experiments and surreal, sometimes darkly comic scenarios—featuring recursive structures, impossible artifacts, and shifting points of view—so that language, numbers, and machines become both tools and themes in explorations of how reality and narrative construct one another.
