About this site

The Rock Rebellion is Priyam's name for the time we live in, wherein the coevolution of inorganic technology and organic humanity diverges due to social and environmental factors. Priyam and his community believe the way forward for humanity is to reconverge, to rebel against the forces that divide, and unite through creative pursuit and systems design. Hence, this is a very Priyam type of independent publication. It even has a restored archive of the SMArt Blog!

Priyam found Ghost while looking for a less corporate, non-algorithmic alternative to Substack or Medium. Ghost is a non-profit and they have paid tiers depending on your audience size, and proceeds go towards improving the platform. You can also self-host and manage subscriptions and stuff. Try it if you're curious.
