About Us

Sam Guss is a Techno-Mystic, a writer, and the Architect behind the Illuminated Pathways Agency. Operating from the heart of the Texas Brazos Valley, he stands at the strange intersection where ancient narrative meets algorithmic intelligence.

In an age where technology is often viewed as a cold, industrial force, Sam adopts the role of the “Digital Griot.” He views Artificial Intelligence not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a vast, electric library—a tool to be curated, conducted, and guided by the human hand. He speaks the language of the machine (Vibe Coding & Prompt Engineering) to amplify the voice of the soul.

Sam is the Executive Producer of a sprawling digital media ecosystem that includes “The AI Current” (a daily briefing on the synthetic future) and four serialized fiction universes ranging from Space Opera to Urban Fantasy. Through his “Prompt to Power” philosophy, he demonstrates how creators can use AI to overcome the limits of time and energy (Spoon Theory), proving that one person, armed with the right code and the right questions, can build a world.

When he isn’t orchestrating agents or archiving the future, Sam can be found exploring the legalities of the physical world, studying the Tarot, or designing solo RPG systems. He lives in College Station with his wife, guarding the boundary between the analog and the digital.

Sam runs the Exploring Uncertainty, a blog that mixes hard tech with deep narrative. Think of it as Wired magazine meets The X-Files.

We deliver ‘The AI Current,’ a briefing on the latest artificial intelligence news. Then, throughout the week, we serialize four distinct novels—ranging from Space Opera to Urban Fantasy—alongside research articles on archaeology, quantum physics, history, the sciences, paranormal activity, occult and philosophy. It’s a one-stop subscription service for people who want to stay smart about the future while getting lost in a good story.
