About
Mark Leach

Mark Leach is a Texas-based experimental writer whose work explores artificial intelligence, posthuman authorship, television, conspiracy, mythology, and the breakdown of conventional narrative form. He is the author of Marienbad My Love, a 17-million-word novel, as well as WOUNDED TACO, JFK SMILES, and I Want to Be a Machine. Leach describes his practice as “space writing”—a method built from collage, appropriation, repetition, cut-ups, algorithmic procedures, visual disruption, and AI-assisted composition. Rather than treating artificial intelligence as a hidden shortcut, he presents it openly as part of a larger literary system in which the writer becomes a designer, editor, curator, and operator of machines. His books combine experimental fiction, cultural criticism, satire, science fiction, found language, fake scholarship, and broadcast debris. The result is a body of work concerned less with telling orderly stories than with constructing unstable literary environments: recursive, excessive, self-aware, and designed for readers willing to enter the signal.
