I don’t know a lot of writers. I know a lot journalists — in passing, mostly — but honest to god novel writers are difficult for me to find. That’s why I cherish my buddy John Sundman, a guy I called a national treasure on YouTube.

Sundman is the author of, among others, Acts of the Apostles and Biodigital, two books that defined sci-fi for the post cyberpunk era. He’s an amazing, precise writer with an uncanny ability to predict the future.

He is now struggling to pay his mortgage.

I have two asks: first, buy him a coffee i.e. donate a little to him if you can, just to help out in the short term. He needs the lift to make it through the next few months.

Also, please consider paying for a subscription to his amazing newsletter, Sundman figures it out. I read every issue and I think you’d like it.

Sundman figures it out! An episodic autobiographical meditation. Stories from farms, cities, African villages, Martha's Vineyard, Silicon Valley, molecular biology labs, truck stops, firehouses, construction sites, hacker meets — trying to figure out what it's all about. By john sundman

It’s tough out there, and it’s only going to get worse. The herd of true artists is thin and getting thinner, and we can only expect AI to make guys like John obsolete. I don’t want that to happen, and I doubt you do, either.

Please help if you can. It would mean the world to him.
