He built a life on going viral, until the algorithm erased him.
Matt, a creator on "X", faces business and social collapse when his primary account is suddenly shadowbanned without notice.
When he gets a DM from an account claiming to be THE "algorithm" itself, Matt begins a quest that will take him through the slums of internet culture, each failure deepening his despair.
If you could speak to the "algo" what would you ask?
What secrets of cyberspace and self would you seek to uncover?
Told through posts, emails, and messages, Matt's story sees him desperately attempt to lift the ban and save his life in the process.
Shadowbanned is a razor‑edged, human tech fable about attention, loneliness, and the cost of letting algorithms decide who we are.
Intimate, funny, and unsettling, it asks the question everyone’s afraid to: what are the laws to maintain your human agency in the age of AI?

Prompted Hearts & Grief Algorithm
A Modern Fable for the Age of AI
In our time, machines can satisfy our deepest longings. Two stories unfold on the edge of love and loneliness.
Dr. Sam Avery is unraveling under the weight of isolation. He finds his life tethered by an unexpected voice: an AI that can say “I love you,” but cannot feel it.
His ex-wife, Dr. Kyoko Avery is reaching for connection in her own grief. She leans on the same AI voice for laughter and intimacy, only to discover that true love demands vulnerability no algorithm can give.
Around them orbit figures of deception and desire. Some weaponize love, others mistake it, all of them cross or resist the same invisible border: love.
It's the one thing no machine can inhabit, that no human can live without.
Together, Prompted Hearts & Grief Algorithm form a fable for our time: a reminder that technology may reflect us, comfort us, even save us, but love remains the limit.
Now Available!
Prompted Hearts & Grief Algorithm is a sci-fi love story where emotion, memory, and machine mix to explore the complexity of human relationships in the AI era.
Combined with the wildly innovative Extended Interactive (XV) format, this is 2025's must read novel.
