I just finished a new story called “Strange Attractor at the End of Time”! Coming in at 3,800 words (roughly 16 pages), it'll be just perfect for the upcoming Neutral Milk Hotel -inspired anthology from Hungry Shadow Press! Unfortunately, submissions don't open until December, so I'll have to sit on this a while. (Let me know if you want to beta-read in the meantime.) This one is inspired by the NMH song “I Will Bury You in Time,” and I’m quite pleased with it.

I just got my first review on Amazon for my first solo fiction book!
"Surreal Sci-Fi For Serious Thinkers
This novel from Cliff Jones, Jr. is my kind of science fiction novel: It's unpredictable, profound, philosophical and filled with insightful social commentary and brilliant satire on ever page.
Honestly, there are enough great ideas in this book to fill 3 other sci-fi novels, but somehow Jones manages to cram one ingenious concept after the other into every single chapter.
Once I started, I couldn't stop thinking about it until I reached the ending.
Looking forward to more great writing from this author. He's definitely a talent to watch!"

Ex. I found one band that's been around for at least 12 years, also apparently inspired by the #dreampunk science fiction genre.
And with part two it's like some YT audience already know the genre I'm shifting into: briefly returning to #dreampunk
This composition is called "Weird/Wired."
Each of the 26 illustrations from my new #dreampunk novella #Dreck is associated with a specific letter of the alphabet. By overlaying and rotating the illustrations, I can turn any word into a logogram like this. If you have a request (your name, for example), just let me know.

This image consists of overlaid illustrations of pipes from my new novella #Dreck. This is like a #dreckCloud but with more radial symmetry, so more of a #dreckFlower?

What do you see in the dreck cloud?
This is an overlay of all 26 illustrations in my new novella #Dreck along with their mirror images. The symmetrical noise triggers #pareidolia, which gives conscious access to your subconscious.
#Artists, feel free to try this method out with any line art you may have on hand, and tag it #dreckCloud so I can find it!

The ebook of #Dreck is finally available on #Kindle! Sorry for the delay, but the publisher didn't want to take any chances that the print version might get delayed, so they sent that out first. Now you have your pick!

I've done short #fiction collections, but today is my solo debut! #DRECK is a new #dreampunk #novella exploring the #tech of today through my own peculiar #PhilipKDick-esque lens. Thanks to #JeffNoon for the blurb!

I know I don't have a lot of followers here (so boosts are appreciated), but does anyone have any questions for me they'd like answered as an article-length response? Here's a bit of my background and credentials:
I'm a #fiction writer specializing in #dreampunk. I've been a #JavaScript developer for around 25 years, much of that professionally. I have a master's degree in #linguistics and have taught #English in both #Japan and #Texas. I also enjoy designing new #languages and writing systems. As a teenager, I won #art contests that sent me to the rodeo, to the state capital to meet the governor, and halfway across the country on a snowboarding vacation. I'm on the #autism spectrum and grew up with my mostly non-verbal autistic brother in a time when most people had never heard of autism. I'm a father of two, coming up on 19 years of #marriage (nearly half my life).
Feel free to message me directly or just post a reply here. I don't promise I'll answer as a full article, but I just might.

My wife didn’t like my original name for my #Substack: “Cliff’s Info Dump.” I could see her point, so I renamed it. Better?

Here's an early study using extended-state DMT (giving DMT to volunteers with an IV drip so they have more time to explore dreamspace than the usual 5 or 10 minutes).
A DMT trip could be extended indefinitely in this way. I wonder what's possible with virtual reality when somebody is in that state, like what experiences can be prompted electronically. This is some next-level #dreampunk stuff right here.

I made another Philip K. Dick post on my #Substack, this time going over his realist novels.
