Uncertain Updates: March 2026
After 4+ years of writing, a niche philosophy book will be published independently and free online.
Gordon Seidoh Worley, a writer from the LessWrong community, has announced that his long-in-the-works book project is finally approaching publication after more than four years of development. The manuscript has completed its second round of editing and is now in the copy-editing phase, with only the final two chapters remaining. Worley decided to pursue independent publishing rather than working with a commercial publisher, citing the book's niche subject matter and significant changes in the publishing industry that have made independent routes more viable and less stigmatized.
Under this independent model, Worley will retain full copyright control while making the digital version available free online for anyone to access. For readers who prefer physical or audio formats, print and audiobook versions will be sold through major book retailers. Looking beyond this project's completion, Worley also previewed his next major initiative: a conference focused on epistemics and 'vibes' scheduled to take place later in 2026, with more details to be announced soon.
- Book completion after 4+ years of writing and editing work
