play the ridge

in the memer age
an inscription, half-erased, on a temple
the luxury of zooming out
like the map of Eurasia
can only be learned in pieces
missing words and audio loops
forgotten sound bites
where do ideas come from
think in full sentences

convenience goods, and economies
the most important thing we can do
first does not always equal best
empires of steel
Mother Demeter
Big solstice energy
the ultimate Answers lost to prehistory
lost beings of the last Ice Age
where you are and when you are

from Scandinavia to the Balkans
roast duck and spiced ham
what they found in the ice
secret societies and lost lands
millions of years until boars, fishhooks
Iron Age Constantinople
Sun deity messiah
Jurchens and Janissaries
the dying and reborn goddess

unsolved mysteries of linguistics
obvious results, without obvious causes
a long time of nothing, until something
The Flying Bike
Exceptionally no
a cosmic waiting game
I am the nade king
empty golf ball planet
keep our economy boiling

looking through the red dot
nade the smoke
final thunderclap; last rain
share the inheritance of the gods

a falsifiable life

the golden ring of ambrosia
Invaders of the Country of a god

An Echo of An Echo of An Echo
Pythagoras
the soundless thunderclap across history
fevered flights across Eurasia
switching stations and choke points in time
the Greeks, Persia, and Europe

nine books that told the future

flame, thunder, and smoke

cloud beast, with wings and claws
someone who cheats
between the Urals and Altai Mountains
Light-Bearer, Star of the Morning
a system of supercomputers, worldwide
the depths and the heights
