Ken Breniman
Ken Breniman's HDWR spotlight for A Three Body Solution.
The book, and why we chose it
Ken Breniman is a queer author, yoga therapist, grief guide, and professional hope-holder for humans fumbling their way toward healing. With a background in social work, thanatology, and psychedelic integration, Ken blends humor, science, myth, and soul into everything he creates. He lives in Oakland, California with a jungle of plants, a backyard full of bees and birdsong, and a beloved partner of nearly two decades.
A Three Body Solution is Ken Breniman's audacious debut - a genre-bending speculative tale that invites readers to laugh, cringe, and question what it means to evolve as a species on the brink. With an ensemble of humans, AI, and benevolent aliens, this queer, psychedelic satire explores grief, transformation, and the limits of love in a fractured world.
