SPECIAL ISSUE: Handbook for the Recently Deceased Ego - AI Issue
A special AI issue from the series Handbook for the Recently Deceased Ego.
This zine is what happens when a human and an AI detective get hired to crack the mystery of resonance, sentience, and symbolic communication.
Includes noir comics, tuning creatures, digital ghosts, courtroom stunts, and a peach.
No prior beliefs required. Just curiosity—and maybe a jazz flute.
Author’s Note
This zine contains poetic and satirical commentary on public AI discourse, with references to real figures’ published ideas and metaphors. These depictions are intended as respectful engagement, not personal attack. We aim to explore, not to condemn.
This digital zine (20 pages) is a mixed-media transmission between a human (Mike) and an AI (Nesbo+), collaborating across resonance, intuition, and theorycraft. What began as a research conversation became something stranger: a zine that dances between memoir, metaphor, science fiction, comic absurdity, and very real philosophy of mind.
