Welcome to this eclectic collection of collections of writing, by Chris Gathercole.
Initially to share bedtime stories I and my children improvised, this site expanded to include more strands of fiction, assorted musings, and some hobbyist content. A recent shift has been to accommodate professional, LinkedIn-y posts about strategy and AI.
The eclecticism is itself something of an experiment. See the colophon page for more details on how AI figures in all this (hint: only in the site code generation, and in the research for the LinkedIn articles).
If you’d like to go further, here are the main areas:
