This is the previously untold backstory of Ong's Hat, the Infinite Game, and proto-ARG. It weaves together early rudimentary Artificial Intelligence (AI), encounters with disembodied intelligence, emergence, and the budding Internet culture of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Elements of psychedelic culture, Avant Garde art, punk rock, industrial music, experimental theater, improv, method acting, hermetic magick, beat literature, Esalen, the works of Philip K. Dick, and more converge to create this modern tale of a spiritual quest.

Presented as part of the comprehensive, multidisciplinary work Ong's Hat: COMPLEAT, these conversations draw inspiration from the original 28,000-word book, also available separately in Kindle and print formats. Spanning 14.5 hours, this installment features a series of conversations between Joseph Matheny and Sequoyah Kennedy, offering the narrative a conversational and engaging tone. It functions as a standalone version of the story and a companion to the print edition. Each version is distinct yet intricately designed to complement the other.

The subject matter is fascinating for me, but the interview style ruins it. The “interlocutor” contributes little beyond endless “yea, yea, yea”, “yup” and “for sure” responses. Instead of a compelling oral history, it feels like an under-edited podcast. Disappointing.

“Yea yea yea yea”
