Газ-Вода
A short story. A famous man slips his handlers on a space station named New World, buys a glass of carbonated water from a stand the size of a Soyuz-10 toilet, and remembers how he got there.
Writing
Essays and notes on whatever demands a page: development work and Central Asia, faith and technology, mountains as more than terrain. The email edition is Пересадка — named for a life that keeps feeling like a layover between the last adventure and the next.
Reliquary Vertigo
On relics, scepticism, and what it means to stand at the tomb of the prophet Daniel in Samarqand and not know how to respond. Written from Istanbul, in collaboration.
