I write under the name ThresholdHuman. This choice is not accidental: it condenses, in a few letters, both what I attempt to explore and what I live myself-the condition of a human placed on a threshold, at the moment of a civilizational shift. We are leaving behind the era of the printed book, patiently built since Gutenberg, to enter the digital age, made of flows, of code, of immediacy. I belong to this in-between: no longer entirely of the old world, not yet fully of the new.
Publishing under a pseudonym is, for me, both a discipline and a protection. A discipline, because it compels my texts to stand on their own, without relying on a biography, a social status, or a public identity. A protection, because the themes I address-governance, collective narratives, upheavals, truth and fiction-can easily be twisted, caricatured, or reduced to simplistic categories. Anonymity grants me the freedom to speak, and grants you, the readers, the possibility of receiving my texts without prejudice.
ThresholdHuman, literally "the human of the threshold," is therefore more than a pseudonym. It is a stance in writing, a way of inhabiting this passage from one civilization to another, of attempting to name the transformations we are undergoing. To write from this threshold is to accept being doubly exposed: still inhabited by the world of paper, and already traversed by the digital world. It is to accept exploring what is changing in our ways of thinking, of living together, of governing, of believing, and of creating meaning.
