Obsession With Change

Obsession with Change is a speculative exploration of humanity’s evolving relationship with technology, identity, and transformation. Set in futures where the boundaries between human and machine dissolve, it merges narrative storytelling, philosophical reflection, and digital art into a single, layered experience.

Structured as a hybrid work of fiction, interviews, and visual compositions, the book follows individuals and intelligent machines navigating a world reshaped by genetic editing, robotic artistry, and augmented consciousness. Among them:
• Elara Masaki, who undergoes a CRISPR procedure to grow wings, only to face both reverence and ruin.
• KX-91, an android artist dismantled for creating work too human to be machine-made.
• Dr. MU284, a surgical robot confronting the moral limits of autonomy.
• Solar Calloway, a cyborg soldier turned activist whose fight for robot rights ends in tragedy.

An interview with Lahneer, an AI entity reflecting on self-awareness and coexistence, frames these stories within a philosophical conversation about authorship and empathy in the age of intelligent systems.

Visually, the book is anchored by Lee’s Computer-Evolved Digital Compositions—digital artworks created through an intentional collaboration between artist and algorithm. Each image functions as both narrative and evidence, deepening the speculative and emotional pulse of the text.

Obsession with Change is not a manual but a mirror, a map, and a dare—inviting readers to confront what it means to remain human in a world increasingly defined by machines, and to imagine creativity itself as the final frontier of evolution.

Obsession with Change is as much designed as it is written. Its concept, visual rhythm, and imagery are deliberate and architectural. The spreads move like film stills from imagined futures, while the text provides a reflective counterweight. The book’s sequencing, white space, and calibrated typography turn reading into an act of looking. It’s a fusion of essay, gallery, and speculative document, meticulously built rather than simply arranged.
