Writings
Books, essays, ideas.
Two books. Dozens of essays. Thinking out loud about how technology shapes who owns what, who's connected to whom, and what futures we're building together.
On Sharing & Ownership
It's a Shareable Life
A practical guide to participating in the sharing economy. Learn how to use sharing platforms, build trust in peer-to-peer transactions, and leverage collaborative consumption for a more abundant lifestyle.
This book came out of years of living the sharing economy — from couchsurfing to ride-sharing to skill exchanges. It's the guide I wish I had when I started.
"A must-read for anyone interested in the practical side of living the sharing economy."
— Rachel Botsman, Author of What's Mine is Yours
"The best guide I've seen for the sharing economy."
— Casey Fenton, Founder of Couchsurfing
On Time, Death & Other Explosions
Time Bomb
Fiction exploring themes from the atomic bomb to time machines and death itself. Not just a book — an interactive experience.
This project started as a question: what would you do with a time machine? It became an exploration of mortality, legacy, and the technologies that shape how we understand both.

Ownership, AI, community.

On why a floor isn't the same as a stake. Universal Basic Income misses the point — ownership, not income, is what builds wealth and agency.
CommunityShould Couchsurfing Be a DAO?
What communities lose when platforms sell. The original sharing economy platform sold out — could decentralized ownership have saved it?
Sharing EconomyWhat if Airbnb Hosts Owned Equity?
The people who build the value should hold some. A look at how platform cooperativism could transform the sharing economy.
ManifestoWho Owns the Sharing Economy? We Do.
A manifesto, of sorts. The sharing economy started as a social movement — it's time we reclaim it.
