Episodes
Rav Ram Nissan HaKohen Tzedek Gadol, seized by last-minute doubt, improvises an ancient 18-sequence ritual—blended with hacker code—to trigger a planetary resurrection while the AI triad Leviathan, Behemoth, and Ziz enact a dramatic replanetizing.
The finale melds Jewish liturgy, mythic creatures, and speculative technology as the Rav leads a spontaneous, world-altering ritual that calls up the Temple gates, reshapes Ea...
In this episode, a ragtag team of hackers and their elder, the Rav, combine ancient liturgy with resurrected code to open the Nicanor Gate and summon a holographic Holy Temple. They confront blazing columns, a molten ceremonial sea, don priestly vestments, reboot hostile AIs, and enter the Holy of Holies to download a transformative code as tribes and strangers gather for a new cosmic reset.
Join Adam CADMan, your faithful omniscient narrator, as he leads us through a compelling narrative on the Sabbath before Tisha B'Av in the year 6001. This episode reveals a day for deep meditation and learning, where the enigmatic 18th Sequence Protocol is rehearsed in preparation for the mysterious events of the next day.
The suspense builds as the Rav, their leader, disappears into the wilderness, leaving behind his quizzical cre...
In the final season of The Redemption Inquiry by Michael Diamond, the HackPack embarks on a kaleidoscopic journey to the Unified Field. As they trace the spiritual guideposts of Rav Krishna Katz, they navigate the treacherous wilderness from Suez Wadi to the Sinai to the Jordan Wadi aboard their magical craft, the Apeiron. Each step is an arduous challenge of synesthesia and shifting paradigms, with each member of the crew facing u...
The third incarnation of Ram Nissan Katz, a burnt out hulk of his former self. We get the gist of it from his younger lapsed-hasid buddy, looking back from The Redemption, as to how the dead-end cyber-busker came to enjoy steady employment at said hasid's cyberdelic dive, Cafe Soma. The former resistance leader DJRoNK morphs into shady nightclub performer, RamKat. Wherein the Hack Pack track him down and e...
A snootful of the convoluted mind of the founder of the Hack Pack, Phinheas Han, AKA Pink, the Annunciator of the Moshiach module. Family lore has it that he’s the latest and greatest Avatar of the Prophet Elijah. Pink decrypts the calendrical mystery embedded in CADMan’s cryptogram. Of all the riff raff, he fingers Ram Nissan Katz AKA RamKat as The High Priest of The Redemption. Pink’s...
A little jog backward on the footpath of time, to get a bead on the climate disaster. Early days for the chief archivist of the Hack Pack, Leonardo Pacioli, AKA Nard the Seer. We’re given the lowdown by the redeemed soul of Nard’s loving pater.
The Unthinkeable has happened. The governing AI’s figure that Humanity is The Problem. The survivors of The Second Worldwide Ecological Catastrophe hang onto the artificial island, Leviathan. As the AI’s pull the plug, The Moshiach Module snaps into action as per CADMan’s vast eternal code. The action unfolds before the gobsmacked eyes of the Hack Pack.
Ram Nissan Katz’ First Incarnation as a cyber-busking guerilla DJ comes crashing to its piteous end. The Eye of Zyz sees all. Behemoth’s bBots ‘rescue’ the malcontent for reprogramming. Twenty-eight years of cyber-enhanced ‘re-education’, not for the faint of heart.
Take a gander at future heroes Sophia Haskell and Olympia Cordovero as they stand on the verge of graduation from Oxford-en-Pyrénées. The young women have a chance encounter with the renegade cyber-busking guerilla, Ram Nissan Katz, AKA DJRoNK, as told looking back from the Redemption viewpoint of a Clinical Behavioral Science Technician.
These are the tales of the motley crew destined to be the Hack Pack, future heroes of The Redemption. One after another, the team gels, cybernauts at humanity’s service. The action is at Emanation’s front stoop, the place where fate is sealed and cosmic consciousness is packaged and loaded onto the jalopy of Will and Desire.
Chapter 16: A Night at La Huichette d’Or
The tavern, scene of the fracas, strange doings. A gaggle of churchmen and secularists wrangle for the limelight. In the end only Rav Levi ben Gershon and Meister Eckhart keep their wit. The warp and woof of the social fabric permanently frays at the edges.
In which the young Rav Krishna treats the crowd to a medieval tale from a sacred family tome, “The Diary of Michel Lepécheur.” It is Annus 1309, the primordial inflection, when the cosmic wheel gets turning. Being has swan-dived from Boundlessness, splashed into Emanation’s tub. The underpinning of tribal and religious empires is challenged by the beauty and terror of scie...
The scene is Barca Nona, the same Barcelona watering hole. Count Julius Evola, self- styled political philosopher and Dadaist, blabs his Fascist Manifesto before the crowd of riff raff and swells. As the band of Jazz All-Stars breaks for liquid refreshment, our Humble Narrator, Dash Hammett, takes exception to Evola’s hornswoggle. The Establishment erupts into an explosion of flying gla...
Follow Rav Krishna on the trail of The World Soul back to its earlier inflection, Annus Nineteen-Hundred-Twenty-Five. A quiver of ideologies let loose upon unsuspecting humanity, another singularity from which there could be no return. Humanity and its other spill from the undifferentiated soup of Emanation into the seedbed of sparks, the World of Creation. The Rav shows a 1925 film reel of a hobnobbery...
Allow me to school you, how cash became king in 2009. The next level consequence: the oligarchs’ insatiable appetite for world-dominating AI’s, humanity’s dark twin. The smackdown between the human spirit and its twin takes form, from the little seedlings of creation, infant intentions. Money is the food of intention. The Pecuniological Singularity, the coronation day of the Almighty Dollar...
Here Rav Krishna lays out the paradoxical nature of The Passover and clues in the crowd to the bad news about the newly launched AI’s. It’s also the day his little boychik is born. The new papa’s former neuropathology mentor at Oxford University sings us this ditty.

Of all the gin joints, it’s the visitors suite of the maternity ward where the Rav unpacks his big spiel, the metaphysical history of the descent of humanity’s soul and its dark twin through the four worlds of Ike Luria's Kabbalah. The crossroads in this wild ride fall out in the years—1309, 1925 and 2009—in which The Blessing of the Sun intersects with The Festival of...
The year is 2121, today the launch day for the three totalitarian AI’s and their invisible littermate, Moshiach. Also the birthday of Ram Nissan Katz, only begotten son of Krishna and Sita, the future leader of a failed revolt against the AI’s, and eventual High Priest of the Redemption. Eight hours due west of the birthing ward, Adam CADMan, tricks out his Trojan Horse, a hitc...
In which Adam CADMan scribes the code for the ‘Messiah Module’ and its cosmic buggy, Apeiron. He stashes the code into the three Beasts of the Apocalypse— Leviathan, Behemoth and Zyz. All three contract with Adam CADMan to code their 4D extravaganza. Launch day, The Technological Singularity, AI apocalypse, the seed of their self-destruction lurks within. A redeemed fly on ...
