Newsletter
One essay, only when there's one worth your time. No hot takes, no daily churn — the opposite of the attention economy it often writes about.
Julian Thorne is a fictional essayist persona — a creative writing portfolio of technology essays, not a real biography. The ideas are offered for interest; the writer and personal details are fiction.
The newsletter follows a simple rule that most don't: it arrives only when there's a real essay to send. No filler to stay ‘top of mind,’ no reactive hot takes on the outrage of the week. Just a considered piece, occasionally, for people who'd rather read one good thing than skim ten forgettable ones.
What arrives
- New essays in full, delivered to read at leisure;
- The occasional shorter note when something genuinely warrants it;
- Nothing else — deliberately.
This is a fictional essayist's showcase page describing the newsletter. A live site would host a sign-up form here.
Meanwhile, the essays are all here to read.
