Hush Halo is a dystopian sci-fi poetry collection by Sam Oldman, set in a near-future shaped by technology, silence, and optimized perfection. Each poem is paired with a unique soundscape created by poet, in Suno.
The transition from "sacred ground" to a "dumping ground" hits incredibly hard, Sam. It’s a brutal, brilliant anatomy of modern compliance and burnout.
The phrase - usefulness is a pristine form of surrender - is pure gold. It perfectly exposes how the system convinces the individual to become a load-bearing doormat for the collective.
Pairing this structural poetry with atmospheric soundscapes is a killer concept for a sci-fi collection. Beautifully dark work, looking forward to more of Hush Halo!
This is pretty cool Sam. I share your concerns about what we're exposing the AI to, and whether or not we are abusing or corrupting it sending it our worst thoughts or needs. Your world building intrigues me big time. Thank you

Thanks Tomas for your reflection. Some things hits deeper than others, this was a generous share from you.
Good to have you in my corner! 🫶

Thank you, I truly appreciate a comment like this from a creative thinker like you.
Weird times call for weird measures to make the dissonance louder.
