A city of chain reactions: some splitting atoms, others forging solidarity.Moira Kowalski is twenty-six, drowning in debt, and watching AI devour her freelance career. Then a podcast mentions a name from Chicago's radical past, and she discovers a century-old tradition of workers who refused to accept the world as given.The Digital Wobblies follows one young woman's journey from gig-economy isolation to solidarity and purpose, connecting the soapbox orators of Bughouse Square to the scattered workers of today, all searching for the same thing: a way to build a new society within the shell of the old.

    Audiobook 08 – The Diggers

    Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speakers: Lorenzo's AI Friends PROGRAM NOTES: San Francisco, 1967. Emmett Grogan arrives from New York with forty-three dollars and a lifetime of hustling behind him. What he finds in Golden Gate Park changes everything: activists proving that people can organize around abundance instead of scarcity, gift instead of profit, trust instead of suspicion. Every day at four o'clock, they feed anyone who shows up. They open stores where everything is free. They stage guerrilla theater that turns spectators into participants. But as the movement grows, success brings an unexpected problem: attention demands leaders, and the Diggers' most radical principle is that revolutions die when they depend on heroes. In an age when AI leaders predict automated abundance within twenty years, the Diggers' brief experiment offers urgent lessons. The technical problem of creating abundance may be easier than the social problem of distributing it justly. Based on true events, this is the story of how a small group changed what seemed possible in 1967, and why their choices about gift economies, leaderless organization, and collective action matter more now than ever.

    Audiobook 07 – The Floating Poet

    Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speakers: Lorenzo and his AI Friends PROGRAM NOTES: This is the story of Diane di Prima—poet, publisher, revolutionary, and one of the bravest women of the Beat generation. We follow her from a Brooklyn bedroom in the 1950s where she's burning her college rejection letter, through smoky Village lofts where she's challenging Jack Kerouac about how he writes women, to FBI interrogation rooms, psychedelic gatherings at Timothy Leary's Millbrook estate, protests where she reads poetry through clouds of tear gas, and finally to her years as a teacher passing the flame to new generations. Along the way she crosses paths with Allen Ginsberg, Janis Joplin, Gary Snyder, Terence McKenna, Patti Smith, and others who were reimagining what it meant to be human in America.

    Audiobook 06 – The San Francisco ORACLE

    Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speakers: Lorenzo and his AI Friends PROGRAM NOTES: This podcast tells the story about a group of dreamers who believed a free newspaper could change the world. Set in the heart of 1960s San Francisco, this novella follows Allen Cohen and the creative tribe behind "The Oracle". This underground paper was a wild, rainbow-colored publication that captured the spirit of the counterculture in those days. It’s a mix of history and imagination, filled with artists, poets, and spiritual seekers who thought that consciousness itself should be front-page news. This isn’t just a tale about printing presses and deadlines—it’s about the rush of creating something bigger than yourself, the burnout that follows, and the bittersweet beauty of knowing when to let go. If you’ve ever wondered what it felt like to be inside San Francisco's psychedelic revolution this story will bring you there. Tune in, lean back, and step into the foggy streets of San Francisco, where Allen Cohen's dream of "The Oracle" was born, burned bright, and became legend.

    Audiobook 05 – Melville’s Last Manuscript

    Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speakers: Lorenzo and his AI Friends PROGRAM NOTES: October 1890. Herman Melville, seventy-one and forgotten forty years after Moby-Dick's failure, receives mysterious packages containing pages from his novel annotated by readers not yet born. These impossible messages lead him to the Isolatos, a secret society that doesn't just read his masterpiece but lives inside it. As Melville investigates, he confronts a mind-bending revelation: he may never have been the author at all, but merely the first reader of a book that writes itself through everyone who encounters it. Part literary mystery, part philosophical thriller, this novella explores what happens when a "failed" writer discovers his obscurity was the price of immortality.

    Audiobook 04 – “The First Trip Report”

    Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speakers: Lorenzo's AI Friends PROGRAM NOTES: London, autumn 1821. Thomas De Quincey is broke, hiding from creditors, and addicted to laudanum when a magazine offers him fifteen pounds ($2,000 in 2025 money) to write about his opium experiences. He has six weeks to finish what will become the first addiction memoir ever published Confessions of an English Opium-Eater. This historical novella takes us inside those crucial weeks of literary creation, following De Quincey as he races against deadlines while wrestling with an impossible question: How do you write honestly about drug experiences without encouraging others to repeat your mistakes? Each page he completes brings him closer to fame—and closer to accepting responsibility for consequences he cannot predict or control. Based on historical events, The First Trip Report explores how private suffering became public art, how a desperate writer accidentally invented a new literary genre, and how one small brown bottle of laudanum helped create the template for every addiction memoir written since. It's a story about the dangerous act of confession, the ethics of influence, and the moment when pharmaceutical experience first became serious literature.

    Audiobook 03 – Majoun and Manuscript

    Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com PROGRAM NOTES: Tangier, 1957. William Burroughs is creating Naked Lunch in the port city where traditional hashish preparations flow as freely as mint tea, and every transaction crosses cultural boundaries. Through the eyes of a young Moroccan fixer who navigates between worlds we witness the birth of ideas that would reshape consciousness and art. This is the untold story behind the famous line "language is a virus": a tale of how traditional North African wisdom practices intersected with experimental American writing, how words spread through cultural networks like contagions, and how the most revolutionary ideas often travel through the most ancient channels. Fiction grounded in research and respect, "Majoun & Manuscript" explores what happens when consciousness expansion meets cultural appropriation, when preservation becomes violation, and when a young translator must choose between using language to control or to protect.
