Bryan Kam

I'm Bryan Kam. I'm originally from California but I live in London. I studied literature at Princeton and Cambridge before switching tracks to work in IT (in media and fintech) for a decade, specialising in Linux automation.

I'm now writing on the origins of selfhood, suffering, and complexity. I have a podcast which is a good place to start.

I post frequent updates to Patreon, where you can also support my work. I publish an occasional newsletter, where I make big anouncements.

I'm interested in literature, film, philosophy, well-being, meditation, neuroscience, and — above all — connections, whether social, artistic, or intellectual.

I host salons via the Interintellect which you would be most welcome to join! See previous salons for a flavour of what we discuss. I also run a series of intellectual chats as well as a book club in London which has run since 2012.

You can check out my blog. Or follow me on twitter or Mastodon, where I actively work in public.
