BJ Bell is the author of Karma Ledger, the first novel in The Kalachakra IP — a cyberpunk series that explores the challenges of modern society and the pull between surveillance and spirit. A writer, coder, and analyst with a background in philosophy, anthropology, and analytics, he is drawn to stories where technology, culture, and contemplative practice collide. He co-founded the author-first Inbound Books cooperative, and his essays on Buddhist practice, AI ethics, and creative work appear at bjbell.com. His writing keeps returning to community, autonomy, and the small shifts that shape who we become. Bell lives in San Marcos, Texas, where he collects oddities — bones, wet specimens, and ritual artifacts — and is at work on the second Kalachakra IP novel.
