The Watch · A new signal every week
The Signals
Fourteen signals. One lighthouse. Each chapter of Rehumanizing Trust opens as a parable: the Keeper, the Stranger, and the fog between worlds. A new signal lights every week until the book publishes on 15 September 2026 — and the watch keeps burning after.

Lit so far
Living Between Two Worlds · ‘Arrival’
A knock through the veiled silence of the bay. A Stranger arrives seeking a signal the world forsook.
Identity in a World of Logins · ‘Recordkeeper’
Who are you when the form decides? What survives of a person once they have been made machine-readable.
Noble Intentions, Darker Realities · ‘The Beaconwright’s Folly’
Every system begins as someone’s good idea. How well-meant design quietly crosses the invisible line.
What Machines Miss · ‘The Driftlight’
The data captures everything except what mattered. Presence, ambiguity, care: the unmeasurables.
Diginalogue · ‘The Archive of Gestures’
A language between digital and analogue: how meaning survives translation, and how it does not.
Weaponized Trust · ‘The Signal Which Sank the Bell’
Systems exploit the good in us: how openness becomes attack surface, and what refuses to be exploited.
