About
Jim MacKinney writes science fiction built to last. With two decades of project management and electrical contracting behind him, he approaches storytelling like system design—interconnected, scalable, built for the long haul.The Allogaia series explores what happens when humanity partners with AI to cross impossible distances. It's about the cost of survival, the ethics of enhancement, and whether we can maintain our humanity when the universe demands we evolve beyond it.MacKinney works full-time in Melbourne, Australia, studies software engineering, and writes in the margins. He's got twenty years mapped out for this series because good infrastructure takes time to build. The name honors his grandfather—a different kind of legacy system.He believes the best stories, like the best engineering, solve problems you didn't know you had.
