sci-fi

I wrote this a couple years ago under the pseudonym Ben Wilson, I was intending to produce a series of instructional blog posts written by Ben for the fictional company Influx, which sold a device that allowed you to control your dopamine triggers on your phone 

The idea was that it would be an exploration of reward hacking and goal drift, as well as a commentary on (mostly my own, but also society's) fucked up priorities in life, and then eventually have Ben, their guinea pig, descend into madness with him one day accidentally setting his wordcount dopamine trigger too high and producing a Ulysses like ending of Autocomplete nonsense

Never wrote the second installment because I didn't really have an audience to share with at the time so I lost interest
