The Exiled One is a razor-sharp AI generated satirical tale about greed, power, and the downfall of the world's most insufferable throuple. Elon Musk isn't just an eccentric billionaire-he's an exiled alien, banished from his home planet for being a raging sociopath with an unhealthy obsession with money and control. Finding refuge on Earth, he falls madly in love with Donald Trump, the only human who matches his unchecked narcissism. Their duo soon becomes a trio when J.D. Vance joins their unholy alliance, forming the world's most detested power couple... plus one. As their hunger for wealth and domination spirals out of control, a formidable team of diverse vigilantes-brilliant women and LGBTQ+ hacktivists-rises to take them down. With dazzling cyber sabotage, social media chaos, and a hefty dose of public humiliation, the vigilantes strip the trio of their power and wealth, reducing their bank accounts to the minimum wage of their respective home states. Exiled once again, the disgraced men retreat to a tiny, miserable island, where they must finally face the one thing they've avoided their entire lives: consequences. With biting humor and sharp political satire, The Exiled One is an outrageous, laugh-out-loud takedown of unchecked greed and fragile egos.

Every overachiever knows the drill: graduate top of your class, land a fancy job, and watch your dreams come true. Rajini Rathore thought she was next in line. Instead, she's stuck in a corporate nightmare where layoffs are announced with flash mobs, promotions are reserved for the clueless, and the only thing "disruptive" about startups is the lack of chai breaks. At SparkPath, Rajini's AI-powered chai delivery project is drowned in office politics and unpaid overtime. At Stratos, her consulting job comes with "Motivational Mondays" and a boss who introduces actual dog leashes to symbolize loyalty. By the time she hits InnerBloom-a wellness startup forcing employees to meditate for bandwidth alignment-Rajini's faith in meritocracy has been reduced to ash. Her personal life isn't much better: a product manager dumps her via LinkedIn, a consultant steals her ideas for a promotion, and a UX designer turns their breakup into an app feature. But Rajini isn't done yet. Armed with her wit and a growing intolerance for corporate nonsense, she turns her misadventures into a viral blog, The Optimist's Debris, skewering hustle culture, toxic positivity, and the farce of modern work life. As her satire ignites a movement, Rajini faces the ultimate question: Can you survive the circus without becoming part of the act? Catch-22 Million Emails is a darkly funny, painfully relatable exploration of ambition, chaos, and the absurdity of corporate survival.

If you want to visit this 'ghost' Seoul neighborhood, think twice. Don't expect to find Guisin-dong on any map; just make sure it never finds you. 'Guisin-dong' is part of the 'Seoul Villages' collection.

What if your pet goldfish started talking? And what if he wasn't just talking... but plotting?

This 10-chapter book relays the adventures of the sixteen year-old boy, Jack Crowhill, who goes through a barrage of insanity that is brought on by many different mysterious and strange people who he meets on his journey. It contains comedy, mystery, and a decent amount of drama. Any feedback would be great. Note: This book is heavily inspired by the works of Lemony Snicket, Douglas Adams, Albert Camus, J.R.R. Tolkien, George Orwell, and countless other writers that I have subconciously channeled during my writing of this book.

Meet Seoul's most elusive shaman. A heartthrob for men, a symbol of independence for women, a modern superhero for kids, a guardian of traditions for senior citizens, and a precious crime fighter for the police (but not an ally when they err on the wrong side of justice!)... Seoul loves Kim D. K. Initially published in the anthology 'Every Second Sunday' (2010), 'Hunting for Kim Mudangnim' is also part of the collection 'Seoul Villages' (2020).

What if the afterlife were just another department of the State? Frank had one plan: jump off a building and end it all. What he didn't expect was to gently float to the ground like a bureaucratic Mary Poppins-minus the umbrella or job satisfaction. Now Frank can't seem to die, and worse, someone (or something) clearly doesn't want him to. Soon he's being monitored, manipulated, and mysteriously assigned to surveil his coworker Jill. Who's watching who? Why does he keep getting new phones stuffed into his pockets? And what's with the man in the dumpster who won't stop talking about climate change? Caught between mind-numbing office reports, bowel-obsessed childhood trauma, and a cosmic surveillance program with suspiciously corporate workflows, Frank has questions. Unfortunately, the only answer he's getting is: keep watching Jill... and don't forget to post about it. A darkly absurd comedy about surveillance, mortality, and mid-level management, Department of Eternal Affairs is perfect for fans of Christopher Moore, The Good Place, and Kafka for Dummies.

Earth has always been the center of the universe... in humans' minds. So when aliens finally show up in full, technicolor glory, everyone expects panic. Screaming. Mass hysteria. Global chaos. But not humans. Humans shrug. Humans sip lattes. Humans take selfies. Humans casually wave and say, "Cool. Sup?" Aliens are baffled. Excited. Confused. Angry. Mostly confused. And in the middle of it all, one brave-or possibly insane-boy shouts, "Take me! Take me!" This is a hilarious, mind-bending journey through interstellar first contact, human indifference, and the existential crisis of a species that thought it was the only thing that mattered.

Zog likes his life to be predictable. A humanoid built for routine, he's perfectly content piloting a rustbucket ship with his mischievous robotic og, Blip, at his side. Together, they scrape by on odd jobs and avoid trouble or excitement. But the galaxy has other plans. When a series of catastrophes forces Zog to command the Duj, a cutting-edge (and alarmingly temperamental) spaceship, he's thrust into a universe of uncharted planets, hostile aliens, and malfunctioning AI. Blip, meanwhile, is having the time of his circuits, revelling in every chaotic twist their journey throws at them. As Zog struggles to keep the Duj-and his sanity-intact, they encounter a cast of eccentric allies and dangerous foes, from a sharp-tongued engineer to a mannequin-turned-lethal bodyguard. Together, they'll face exploding planets, galactic bureaucracies, and a cat with suspiciously good aim. In a galaxy where every mission goes wrong, every crewmember has quirks, and every button on the control panel might spell doom, Zog and Blip must find a way to survive-without completely losing their minds. Beyond Spuroxi is a laugh-out-loud sci-fi adventure perfect for fans of humour, heart, and intergalactic mayhem.
