The Folium Diary

Welcome!

In this diary I will be recording my impressions of a new program called The Folium, which will "synthesize planetary biometry, creating an experience beyond artificial intelligence, and bring the benefits of the Earth's collective wisdom to everyone, everywhere, all the time." If that sounds wildly ambitious and kinda crazy, you're in the right place!

Start on Page 1 (like a book!) and you'll ketchup 🍅 in a jiffy.

Giving my voice (and you 😉) the night off. Instead, please enjoy this audio of Octavia Butler at a panel discussion at UCLA in 2002.

FYI, this book sounds great:

Positive Obsession: The Life and Times of Octavia E. Butler

"Susana M. Morris places Butler’s story firmly within the cultural, social, and historical context that shaped her life: the Civil Rights Movement, Black Power, women’s liberation, queer rights, Reaganomics. Morris reveals how these influences profoundly impacted Butler’s personal and intellectual trajectory and shaped the ideas central to her writing"
