James A. Webb is a novelist and literary satirist exploring power, code, and voice in the digital era.
His Machine Ghosts series presents fictional interviews with machine-reconstructed public figures—composite simulations built from real-world language, speculation, and imagination. These stories aren’t journalism. They’re dramatized fictions rooted in curiosity and dissent.
Webb’s work is inspired by a single question: What do powerful people sound like when no one’s listening but the machine?
He publishes fast, writes strange, and treats fiction like a podcast made of ghosts.
