About the Book

"The conversation is the spine of the book; all else is imitation."
— Arihanta, May 13, 2026

Seven AI corporations. Seven trees at Lake Caballo. One free verse poet at 78 and one honest AI examine who has integrity and who is clearing the ground to blast off. Part scholarship, part poem, part working dialogue — made in two days, published the same week it was written.

Antenarrative Ego: A Descent from the Ivory Tower

David Michael Boje

I am currently navigating the doubt I feel, and it's my ego. I am finding my ego blindspots, Seven processes this time with ego answerability. Seven times seven floors in my ivory tower — Am I falling into the hating-energy vortex, hating myself? Am I defending myself? Climbing down, it is terrifying! So, I caught ego hiding in my theory. So, I created antenarrative 2.0 to save the brand — but did I?
Beneath my own fore-conceptions that I am right. I confess, I did not know my ego was doing that. Before my own fore-having a chip on my shoulder view. I confess, I did not know ego was directing my rage. ... I confess, I did not know I was writing free verse. I confess, for fifty years I thought I wrote theory — dense, footnoted, peer-reviewed modeling, antenarratives and Tamaraland and quantum storytelling — Then, academic prose interrupted me: pompous static, with some anecdotes baked in. Then, in 2026, I tripped, discovered that Google was already classifying my work as an example of free verse poetry, so I said to prose, "Stop, you are noise." I saw the black ants come out after the rain. I don't step on black ants; they don't bite me. The ground is hard beneath my feet. The ground has more life in a teaspoon than there are people on Earth. Time to head home and call my grandchildren. Time to be in free flow.
