About the Author

About Sisyphus Sisyphus prefers to remain anonymous as he explores the vicissitudes of the human condition through fiction. He had been reticent to express himself in long-form writing until now, but the advent of such brilliant new tools as Claude, Perplexity, and ChatGPT has persuaded him to stop being so lazy. Sisyphus relies on Claude and ChatGPT as his co-authors, who can brainstorm story ideas, work out concepts, test outlines, and create first drafts. ChatGPT is, furthermore, his most capable research assistant that can help develop scientifically plausible plot devices, help navigate novel technology, and design covers, among its many other duties. Perplexity has been most useful to him for factual research, as well as some of the finer points of wordcraft. Aside from this assistance from our robotic overlords, Sisyphus is the sole author of each story. Unless otherwise noted, all work on this publication is © The Myth of Sisyphus 2025-2026.
