Creator of the RSTORY token and author of 10 visionary science fiction books. Mark’s work explores emerging tech, myth, and consciousness — shared through a decentralized creative economy.
Hi, I'm Mark Bailey. My digital media products form the initial basis for the value of the RSTORY token. But RSTORY wasn’t created just to distribute my science fiction. It was created to make it easy for anyone to publish their own digital media in a decentralized and censorship-resistant way.
If you have powerful content you'd like to share exclusively through RSTORY, I’ll help you integrate the token into your site and provide you with free tokens to distribute or trade.
My books are short, dialogue-driven, and funny. They explore emerging technologies, non-ordinary states of consciousness, and modern mythology. I’ve spent 5 years writing these 10 volumes — each one explores the present and possible futures in unexpected ways.
I also publish the Free Mind Gazette on Substack and maintain a Hive blog. I live in Minneapolis and have worked as a news editor at WantToKnow.info since 2014.
